*****************
Thank You to all who have volunteered so far for the Jingle Bell Run.
My key positions have been filled.
I need 17 Road Guards.
This race is a lot of fun to watch, cheer on the crowd with holiday spirit.
This also makes a great race for families to volunteer and especially for those teenagers who need community service hours.
Please consider sharing an hour or two of your time.
BCRR would greatly appreciate it.
Please email me at Samantha_mcmurtrey@hotmail.com
Many thanks in advance
Tis the season to be merry! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE volunteer!

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.
