GOOD MORNING BAYOU CITY ROAD RUNNERS!
************************************************************
Special THANK YOU to John Phillips
I wanted to take a moment in today’s email to update the club on a few upcoming changes. As most of you know, John Phillips has been BCRR’s #1 supporter and volunteer for 20+ years, however as his 70th birthday approaches, John has announced his BCRR retirement.
For the club, this means we have some big shoes to fill! Starting Sunday, June 30th, we will need water stations volunteers weekly. If we can have a team of 4-5 members rotating each month, this should help share the workload. Please let me know if/when you are willing to volunteer.
As the Fall Series approaches, we will be searching for club members to help with the heavy lifting at the boat shed and at race day set up, as John prepares to take a step back.
There are no amount of thanks and appreciation we can express to John for the hours he has spent supporting this club - but still - THANK YOU John Phillips!!!
