The club will provide the Pizza and soda and we need some of you to bring a salad or dessert. Could you please RSVP to me at “dryrun262 at msn dot com” by Sunday the 19th so we know how many pizzas to order!!

Also we will hearing from Andy Schachat – New England’s premier race announcer – on the topic of how running has changed over the last 17 years that Andy has been announcing road races. It always is a treat to get to a race and hear Andy’s voice or his music before you even see him! You know the race is in good hands with Andy behind the microphone!

See you on the 19th!
