Happy training for the week of 11/21.
Board Update: CTC is normally governed by a nine member board. Board members serve two-year terms and elections are held annually at the December general meeting. As many of you know, Ken and Gloria Petruzzelli recently moved to Sacramento and have resigned their positions. In addition, Dina Rabo has decided to resign from the board, effective at the end of this year. Finally, five of the six remaining board members are at the end of their original two year term. Therefore, the club will need to elect eight board members at the December general meeting (to the best of my knowledge, all five members whose terms are expiring will be seeking re-election).
The board has appointed Eric Ayars as chair of the election committee. The committee will be responsible for receiving nominations and for managing voting at the December general meeting. Nominations, as well as any questions regarding elections, may be submitted via email to eric@ayars.org. Election procedures are outlined in the club bylaws, which are available on the About page of the website.
End of Season Kona Party: Invitations have gone out for the Kona Party, otherwise known as the December general meeting. Current members should have received an online Evite as well as a mailed invitation. The party is Saturday, December 10 from 3:30 PM to 8:00 PM at the home of Susan and Wally Marshall, 45 Covell Park. Please contact Susan (marshallsm@yahoo.com) if you have not received an invitation or have any questions about the party.
Business items, including board elections, recognitions, club races, the next uniform cycle, etc., will begin at 3:30. The party and Ironman Telecast will begin around 5:00, with dinner provided and BYOB.
Katie’s Monday Run: Katie's Fun Run has settled into a winter schedule, alternating weeks between Wildwood Park and California Park. The run meets at 5:45 PM and the location will be confirmed in advance on the Yahoo group email list. This is a casual run geared to novice athletes working to improve their running. Both routes are reasonably well lit, but headlamps and reflective attire are still advised.
Shawn’s Friday Ride: Shawn's Friday afternoon ride is on hiatus until after the first of the year. Send an email to sponsorship@chicotraithlonclub if you want to receive updates about the ride when it resumes.
