Newtown Charity 5K Run scheduled for Saturday.
In the wake of the tragic shootings at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, CT, Race2Run, Nova Timing and other businesses have scheduled a 5K at Rockford Park. All involved are donated their time and services, so all the proceeds will go to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund.

Congratulations: To club members Ryan Perkowski and Rachel Bleacher, club social director, on the announcement of their engagement.

USATF Award Luncheon
From Robin Jefferis of Mid-Atlantic USATF:
I am sending you this USATF Award Luncheon application because the luncheon typically sells out in a week or even less. I want to make sure that the Pike members who would like to attend, have time to send their reservations in.
FYI – Hugh [Campbell] was awarded Male Masters Athlete of the Year. He will receive two complimentary tickets.
(See attachment at bottom of e-bulletin. For those who have never attended, for a luncheon this is always a great meal.)
