Awards Banquet
Deadline for mailing forms is Saturday Feb 19, so please download from http://www.pcvrc.com/pdf/banquet11.doc and send in soon. We hope to see as many members there as possible, especially if you haven’t attended an event lately!
Banquet Speaker
Guest speaker at our banquet next week will be Rachel Yoder, Program Director of Back on My Feet, Philadelphia Chapter. BOMF, founded in Philadelphia in 2007, is a nonprofit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of homeless populations by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem. They currently have locations in 7 cities across the country.
Club member Austin Gee has worked for BOMF and our club donated $250 to them from DDC 15K proceeds in 2010. It will be interesting to learn more about a growing charity that has such strong ties to running!
Last Chance for CR Discount:
If you have not yet registered and would like discount from current $50 entry, contact Ray () by 2/23 very latest to be on a team for $40 or possibly $35. Everyone runs complete race. First come, first served, no guaranteed placement on a particular team, since we may have to juggle to fill teams. Send your: name, address, phone, race day age, birth
date, T-shirt size, email (money later). Decent chance of getting a nice medal!
CR Pasta Dinner 3/26 at 6pm: Ray is again hosting a pre-race pasta dinner in “The Beer Room” (at his house near Delcastle). All are welcome, so please call soon 302-633-1482 with questions.

Richard Webb Checks In
Prez Ray had e-mailed Richard after he renewed his club dues. Club members will be interested in his response:
Ray – thanks for writing! As you will have seen from my address, I am living in Shanghai now with my wife Xiaoyan. Yes, I still run a little, with several of the local hashes here, but very slowly. I do follow the goings on at Pike Creek thanks to Dave’s regular updates. The continuing success in both Mid-Atlantic series is especially gratifying.
I occasionally return to Delaware for short visits, and meet up with the Hockessin hash when I can. Please give my apologies and regrets for missing the banquet again, and pass on my best wishes to all my running friends. Tell them there are some big races here in Shanghai – marathons and half marathons especially – so I would welcome anyone to visit us. Shanghai is one of the greatest places in the world now, both to live in and to visit.
