After doing that, and enthused with the democratic spirit, Membership 1,051.00 please also vote for the candidates you think Newsletter 85.00 will do the best for the Striders over the next Turkey Trot 276.00 two years. We have a fi ne slate to choose Total Rev 5,118.32 from and we rarely get more than 10% of our members to participate. So please fi ll out your ballot and send it in. There are Expenses brief reviews of all the candidates and their Strider Mile 114.00 reasons for running for the board in this issue. Comm. Svc 66.25 ERC 4,513.08 We had a very successful celebration of Gen’l Ops 226.73 our 35th year and a tribute party for our volunteers at the fi shing pier in Ocean Membership 41.00 View. Hopefully, if you attended and enjoyed yourself, you’ll consider getting a personal Newsletter 2,761.24 invitation next year by volunteering for us in the coming year. We do this every year and Program 183.00 it’s always been a popular event. You, too can receive an invitation, just by volunteering Scholarship / T-Trot 177.51 a few times. Secretary 85.00 We had a full month of races in October and we’ve got another full month in front of us. Youth Dev. 100.00 The weather fi nally improved, so you should be well trained and ready to compete at any Total Exp 8,267.81 distance you wish to run. If you’re not running one of the out of town marathons, or half marathons, there’s ample opportunity to run locally. There’s the Race for Breath on the Net Income (3,149.49) 3rd, the Town Center Run on the 10th(your opportunity to run around the Pembroke area and have a meal at one of the local restaurants in that area), the Run for Sight on the 17th Account Balances 09/30/07 and possibly our largest race, the Turkey Trot, on Thanksgiving. If you hadn’t heard this before, Thanksgiving is the largest road running race day of the year. There are more races in more spots than on any other day. My guess is if you’re a member of the Striders BankofAmer Checking 24,759.77 to participate in races, you’ll be running somewhere that day. Here, it’s an opportunity to Restricted: run against folks who live elsewhere and are visiting for the holiday or an opportunity to General Operations 17,000.00 run with folks who now live elsewhere and you haven’t seen for a while.

Thanks to the traveling Striders for taking the time to describe their Total - Restricted 105,528.46 race experiences out of the Hampton Roads area. Keep those stories coming in. Total - All Accounts 130,288.23 With the onset of the e-Rundown, there will be some gradual changes to the Rundown that will allow the electronic copy to be more user friendly. Unfortunately, not many of these changes will make the November issue but look forward to receiving an electronic copy of the Rundown. The 35th Anniversary Celebration and Volunteer Appreciation Party took place on top of the Ocean View Fishing Pier. It was a beautiful day perfect for lounging about on the deck over the restaurant. Pictures from the celebration are throughout this Rundown. The celebration was open to all and each volunteer invitee received a Tidewater Strider memorabilia clock. The day was different for most because the volunteers were allowed to just have a good time and be waited on by the restaurant staff. Good Food, Good Drinks, Good Friends. Be there next year. As Always, please let me know if you have any comments about the Rundown, Dick Brothers, Bill Bailey, Dave McDonald and Ada Mike Fuller all enjoying the sunshine at the annual volunteer’s celebration. - 3 - The RUNDOWN - November 2007 TIDEWATER STRIDERS 2007 RACE SCHEDULE Date Race Name Distance Location Race Director 3-Nov
