Sprint back to the Circle Date: November 22
Place: Winner’s Circle Sports Bar
Cost: Free for Current and Former Members
The Program:
We’re counting on some salads, desserts, and the like to be brought by the members. Help out if you can! Also Needed: Pictures, old uniforms, newsletters, and any other memorabilia from the Club.
Twenty years has passed since the first group of runners went out the door of The Winner’s Circle Sports Bar, and little did they know they were making such history.
Plenty of runners have done so since, as the little social club gradually grew to it’s present day size of 300 or so members. Some of the original members have remained active, others have kept in touch, while a few have more or less disappeared. New members have been welcomed, and carried things forward, blending smoothly with the old and becoming "oldtime members" themselves. Some of them, many close friends, have since faded into the shadows. Still, there are ties that bind all of us together, through shared experiences, the timelessness of our sport, and our mutual friendships.
And so it is that a reunion (for lack of a better word) is planned for this November 22nd, to coincide with our favorite non-competitive (speedwise, anyway) run, the annual "predict your time" Turkey Trot.
It is hoped that the "lost legion" of members will come back and take part, if not in the 5K fun run, then at least in the fun to follow. Bring old photos, clippings, and especially stories to tell.
So talk this one up to members old & new.
