| 2009 Run/Attendance Totals |
2009 Run/Attendance totals are now posted on our home page. Click HERE to view the .pdf file. Some of the numbers out there: 65 Club Members had 10 or more runs. Top Female was Noreen Beresford who attended 118 Fun Runs and top male was Byron Mundy with (WOW!!!) 212 Fun Runs attended. Three females attended 100 or more Fun Runs and six males attended 100 or more. The most well-attended Fun Run day is Wednesday in Swarthmore which averaged 21 runners per and had a top attendance of 34 back in August. Just a reminder that all Club Members with 10 or more Fun Runs attended will recieve a special gift in a few months. Not sure what that will be yet but Byron Mundy will take care of it as he does every year. |
| Meet Cécile Daurat-Thompson |
Cecile joined out club back in January 09 but has only recently started running with the club at our Fun Runs. She is a welcomed edition to the Club and we enjoy having her around. This person is a very good runner and, it seems, cyclist. Cecile keeps a running blog which she said I could share with the Club. I very much enjoyed reading her blog, I hope you also will. Click on the link to see her blog. http://cdaurat.blogspot.com.
This picture of Cecile is her sitting in my car just prior to tackling (for her and I) the 15.25 Mile Phunt Run.

 Upcoming Delco RRC birthdays this week: Glen Bowman and Sarah Rehberg (Fri 1/8), Anne Vecchiolli (Sun 1/10), Cindy Balmer and Bob Street (Mon 1/11), Natalie White (Wed 1/13). Happy Birthday to all of you. How about walking and running off those years? Stay young by joining us on one of our many Fun Runs. |
| Book Club |
 Next book club will be held Denise Talbot's House on Sunday January 10th.
The book selected is The Help by Kathryn Stockett, 2009, 464 pages
Be prepared to meet three unforgettable women: Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.
Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.
Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town...
