from our Jingle Bell 5K Dec. 16, and new member and renewing member

*Ed is checking into the club's tax free status (races and dues may
be a tax deduction in the future for members and participants)
*The RRCA club insurance is a one million dollar indemnity policy
and covers everything in a race except sponsors and the community,
but sponsors and others are covered free of charge by filing
paperwork with RRCA – ask Ed if you are unsure of coverage
*ALL Runs as a club will start at ONE spot on Saturdays and
Wednesdays from now on, at 7:00 a.m at First Flight Middle School
for Saturday runs, and 6 a.m., Wednesdays, with hopes that more of

between Manteo and Kill Devil Hills on alternating weeks. This will
begin immediately, as approved by the membership.

minors with an additional bonus- if we have folks who would like to
join the club after July they will only need to pay $12.50
*JINGLE BELL RACE – Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. Dec. 16 with
the run beginning at 9:00 – the course may need to change based on

*Proposed ByLaw CHANGES
The following items have been presented and will be voted on at the
next meeting – PLEASE provide any input either by contacting a
representative of the running club OR attending the next meeting.
Preferably now instead of during the meeting.
1. All officer positions will be listed as vice presidents with a
list of “committee” jobs under each to be divided among the members
2. Sanctioning Rules will not only include 4 members but these
members must be active - we also will expect our logo or mention,
and web site address, to be included on the application, email
addresses of the runners from the sanctioned race to be provided to
us so that we can send them information about our club, if goody
bags are offered to the race we would want to have at least our
application included, and the sanction request MUST be made at least
6 months in advance to ensure the above requirements are meant.
Also, if the sanctioned race has an Expo, we would want a
complimentary booth.
3. The founding members of the club from 2005, who originally paid
$50 to become Charter Members, may renew as charter members each
year. So when renewing your annual application, mark that you are a
Charter member with your check.
4. We will be paying the RRCA dues as well as the USATF dues in a
few days, so please renew your membership so we have the funds we
need in the bank.
5. We want to add the Immediate Past President as an officer
position to insure continuity of decisions, and also a new vice
president in charge of training, coaching and events.
6. We want to add that club members are expected to participate in
as many club-staged and sanctioned races as possible, and members
are strongly urged to volunteer for at least one event during a
year.
**AGAIN NEXT MEETING DATE JANUARY 10th at 6:15 at the KILL DEVIL
HILLS LIBRARY, unless otherwise noted.
