Income We also have their snail mail addresses, but Club Races 5,350.00 to my knowledge we have never been asked for them and we have a strict policy of not ERR 3,445.00 giving them out, period. WDF 1,905.00 ERC 2,358.60 However, with the advent of the e-rundown and with the gradual accumulation of e- Interest 1.51 mails we have been given or collected, we Membership 1,668.00 have a long list of e-mail addresses that we Newsletter 205.80 actually use from time to time. Total Rev 9,583.91 Cathi Reade, our membership co-chair, has gotten praise for sending out reminders Expenses of various deadlines for events and for renewing memberships. Generally we have Club Races decided to treat these in the same manner ERR 807.50 as we treat mailing addresses. However, we Summer Series 399.15 are periodically asked for them with good W D Fest 2,121.54 reasons and with valid arguments for sharing them. One such arrived recently because a group of professors at ODU are doing a study of the effects of statin drugs on exercisers. Comm. Svc 39.61 They wanted to contact our members to send a questionnaire on if they used statin drugs ERC 170.00 and how their exercising was affected. After discussion the executive committee agreed Gen’l Ops 237.97 and we shared our list with them. We did this because we think it’s a valuable study and we should probably participate. Membership 119.99 Newsletter 2,855.33 However, I’d like to hear from folks on this. What would be acceptable and what wouldn’t? Treasurer/Audit 10.32 Aside from fi lling up one’s in-box are e-mails more acceptable to receive than junk mail? I think in junk mail that trees are involved in the process whereas in e-mail only the Total Exp 6,761.41 necessity to click a delete button is involved. Plus the aggravation of having to do that or Net Income 2,822.50 the aggravation of seeing 100 messages in your in box. Please let me know. On the running side of things, everything’s set up for your August enjoyment. We have a Account Balances 06/30/07 5K on August 4 to benefi t wounded Marines (special to Rick Brown’s heart), the ASYMCA Mud Run on Aug 11, the Strider Mile on August 18, the annual picnic right after the mile, BankofAmer Checking 30,885.49 and the always popular East Coast Surf Championships on Aug. 25.

Walking specialists Steve Durrant and Hartley Scholarship-Bashara 33,000.00 Dewey have been working on the Mile and it should be a great experience for everyone who comes out.
