Bill Cullins, Kay Thompson and  Terry Shaner have been awarded Road Runners Club of America's National Volunteer Award Certificates.

"The success of the RRCA and its clubs and events is based on volunteerism. Since its inception in 1958, the RRCA has relied on the spirit of volunteers to carry out programs, find sponsors, hand out water, work finish lines and many other necessary and important tasks. It is in recognition of these volunteers that the RRCA developed the Volunteer Award Certificates. Without volunteers our clubs and events would not be as successful at promoting grassroots running. "

This quote covers what the award represents. Over the years, they have done all this and much more.

Talk about representing...this continues to be a big year for the 35th Annual Run in the Sun 8km run. It is the longest continuously held 8km race in Texas; it was the Texas State 8km Championship Race;  it was reported in the September issue of Footnotes, the RRCA National Magazine, and most recently, nominated for RRCA race of the year. (Although our chance of winning against the big city races is very small, the nomination is a considerable achievement.) 

We continue to take renewal/new memberships for 2008. Please send your renewal  or new membership form and check to  SARL, P.O. BOX 2851, San Angelo, TX 76902. (If you sent in your renewal or joined in October, then you are good for 2008.)  Thank you, to everyone that has already mailed in your renewal. You can also join/renew at our annual meeting (details). We need your membership to keep the club active.

I encourage the internet/e-mail membership option. This option gets you the  newsletter first and in color. You also get updates from RRCA. Plus, it saves the club money.

Lastly, the Team San Angelo website and newsletter will be shutting down effective December 31, 2007. Bill Cullins put in a tremendous amount of work keeping us informed on multi-sport opportunities. Bill's efforts brought a lot of cycling enthusiasts to running and introduced cycling to many runners. Although, there is no way to replace the Team San Angelo Website, we will try to provide information and links to local multi-sport events.
