From the Desk of the President

Here are 2 great opportunities to represent our club and engage with the community to spread the word about who we are and what we’re about:

  • We’re looking for a couple people to represent the Pacers at the upcoming Girls on the Run event on November 18th. Plan to arrive by 7:30am to set up the tent and table. The even plans to wrap up around noon.  You will be responsible for tending to the table, providing all around good cheer and positive vibes at the event, and engaging with the event attendees to represent Pacers in the running community. 
  • The Pagoda Pacers will have a table at the upcoming Fawn Hill Holiday Beer Garden & Market. The event is on Saturday, November 25th from 11:00 am – 6:00 pm at Fawn Hill Hop Yard (141 Wilma Ave. Reading, PA 19607). Set up is between 9:00am and 10:45. We are looking for a few people to split this day spending time at the Pacers tent, engaging with event goers to get word out about our club – who we are, what we do, why they should come check us out etc. This can be done in 2hr shifts if needed; you do not have to spend the whole day at the table. 

If you are interested in working the table at any of these events, please reach out to me at mhenry.pacers@gmail.com so that I can start putting the schedule together and provide further information. 

pacer passport

The year is winding down, but there are still some upcoming opportunities to complete this year’s Pacer Passport. The next couple months will feature plenty of organized Pacer runs to attend (WNRs and Pacer long runs), plenty of opportunities to volunteer, and 3 more opportunities to register for a Pacer Race (Oley, Shiver, Kris Kringle). 

Note: the last chance to fulfill the meeting requirement will be at November’s monthly meeting since we do not a have meeting in December.

If you are on track for completing the passport this year and haven’t done so yet, please reach out to me (mhenry.pacers@gmail.com) so that I know to include you in the headcount when ordering this year’s reward. I would like to have an idea on the headcount by the end of November.

Thanks, everyone! And don’t forget to vote!!
