RUNVENTURA COMMITTEES: UP AND RUNNING



Do you have a special talent or interest aside from running? Would you like to get more involved and meet more people like yourself?

If you answered a resounding “yes!” to both questions, then you are just what RunVentura needs right now. The people behind RunVentura have been “all ears” lately and think that a committee-driven club suits the current needs of our members.

After much thought and deliberation, seven (7) committees seem like a good starting point. We now have the following committees, chairs and a brief description of each committee’s responsibilities:

1) EVENTS – races; fundraising events
Co-chairs:
Mike Miskel and Rick Kanatzar

2)

3) LOGISTICS – purchase of supplies; volunteer schedule

Tom McKiernan
, one of our esteemed, most experienced and senior runners was selected as RunVentura Chairman. Tom will work closely with Josh Spiker, Inside Track owner and club adviser to ensure the smooth flow of club operations.

Now all we need are at least two (2) dedicated, hard-working and selfless members per committee, namely YOU! Send an e-mail or talk to any of the committee chairs this coming Saturday to get more information or to signify your interest.
