Seaport Striders
Club Meeting
You are
invited to attend the Seaport Striders Running Club's Semi-Annual Club Meeting
to be held on Wednesday February 10th at 7:00 PM at Riverport Brewing Co. Riverport
Brewery is located at
We will be
discussing future plans for our annual running events and election of
officers. The club needs volunteers to help with running events, become
race directors, write articles to promote running on our website, and anything
else you may contribute to make running an even funner
experience!
So, to
quote my favorite American president; "I shall not seek, and I will not
accept, the nomination of my party, for another term as your president'"
I've been
proudly representing the Seaport Striders for ten years now, and I thinks it's
time for somebody else to take the reigns. It's a great job with no pay
and few benefits! Actually, if you are president for three or more years,
you get free club membership for life. If you hold office for six or more
years, you get free entry into our non-T-shirt fun runs! The extra
benefits you receive is the fun of hanging out with a great bunch of
people who enjoy doing the same thing you do...RUN! It's totally
worth it! So take on a rewarding challenge and represent the Seaport
Striders as our next Club President!
Sincerely,
Your Current Club President,
Bill Chandler

VACUOUS VELOCITY
By Margaret K. Gates
I want to start a program to increase my energy,
Improve my strength and stamina, my health to guarantee,
To gain the admiration of the people watching me.
I wonder what's a sport that I might play?
Could golf provide the means for me to exercise, excel?
My arms are awfully weak and I don't hit the ball too well.
Coordination hampers me; my game just doesn't jell.
My ball will hook and slice and ricochet.
Perhaps I'll take up swimming since no ball obeys my will,
But often in the water I begin to take a chill,
And every time I need to breathe, I wish I had a gill.
I choke on all the chlorine and the spray.
I know -- I'll take up running; it requires no skill or brain.
A healthy child can do it; runners e'en can be insane.
Through rain and pain they strain to gain control of steep terrain.
I'll run and race and chase my cares away.
