Greetings from your NOVA President,   

Congratulations to Samantha Cole and Mark Drosky, elected to be NOVA's Co-Presidents for 2011!!   Please give them all the support they need to run NOVA for the rest of the year.  

As a long time NOVA member, I am glad we have two new faces to lead the club.  It's important to get new ideas to support the running community and that can only happen when everyone steps forward.  Like any democracy, NOVA has a tradition of rotating the Presidency, and I am glad that tradition will continue.  

Thanks to all of you who voted in the election. 

As for me, thanks for letting me serve as NOVA's President for the last two years.  I'm just fading into the background for the first part of the year but I will remain an active NOVA member as long as I live in the DC area.  

Please also congratulate the following NOVA Members who were elected or re-elected to NOVA Officer positions. 

Amanda Williams - Vice-President

Jay Duffy - Treasurer

Faye Lafontaine - Secretary

Andresa Hart - Membership

Lynn Connors - Volunteer Coordinator

Track is back!  The snow has melted; track will return to Wakefield on Tuesday. I've also seen the schedule from the county and there are no conflicts for the track, so now is a good time to get a solid 4 weeks of Tuesday night workouts before we run into the usual conflicts with the spring High School sports schedule in March and April.    

Looking ahead, join Metro Run & Walk Springfield for a private New Balance event on Sunday, March 12 at 10AM where you can try on the brand new New Balance Minimus and NB890 (lightweight trainer). See below for more information on the event.
