Rockets Run!
Calling all BCRR Members!!!!!
We are in NEED for more volunteers for the Rockets Run on Sunday, November 8th at 6:00 a.m. This race brings in $2000-$2500 in annual revenue which helps fund things like the Christmas Party. We have committed to providing 50 volunteers and are very short of that number at this time.
Volunteers are needed to help us man water stations, call mile splits, and serve as road guards.
Please contact Susan Cita to volunteer: susancita.bcrr@gmail.com

BCRR Garage Sale: November 6-7th
We are also short of garage sale items, so please bring your "treasures" over to the Modern B&B (4003 Hazard, Houston, 77098) between now and November 6th.
We'll need volunteers to help us with the event at the Modern B&B.
Garage sale proceeds will go towards the BCRR Christmas Party

WEEKLY CLUB RUNS:
Mellow Monday- Join us every Monday for a 3 mile recovery run around Memorial Park at 7:00p.m.Runners who are interested should park on the east side of the parking lot in front of the softball fields off of the Picnic Loop. The goal is to increase membership and recruit new members with this new social event. Following a loop around Memorial, we head to a dinner venue for post running fun. **Please note that in cases of inclement weather, i.e. thunder & lightning, Mellow Monday will be cancelled for safety reasons.
Wednesday at Rice University: Every Wednesday evening we meet at 6:15 at Rice University (run leaves at 6:30 pm sharp!). All levels are welcome. And the best part is the cheap beer at Valhalla afterwards. Parking is available at First Christian Church/School (1628 Rice Boulevard).
To park in the church parking lot, you need a BCRR bumper sticker. Please see Lisa Thompson for a sticker if you do not already have one.
Friday Speedwork (Memorial Park 5:30 AM): Contact Peter Griffiths for more information- p_griffiths@bellsouth.net
Sunday Long Run (Memorial Park, 6:30 AM): Meet us at the O mile marker for a 10, 11, or 12 mile route around Memorial Park and through River Oaks. Immediately following the run, join us Whole Foods for coffee and conversation.
