| Hello Delco RRC |
"I'm very competitive, and perfectionist, and also insecure, and I hate, hate, hate the feeling of failure -- but I know that failure is a necessary part of creativity, of risk-taking, of aiming high. I remind myself that if I'm not failing, I'm not trying hard enough."
- Gretchen Rubin
With this quote in mind: Don't be afraid to fail. At least you have tried when so many have done nothing. You know who they are. Join us for a Fun Run and meet many "failures." Actually, we are far from failures and so are you. |
| Website Developer Wanted | |
Do you know someone that would be interested in taking our website to the next level? Someone that has some spare time? A family member that is interested in this subject? What do I mean by the next level? Check out this website from the Wissahickon Wanderers. http://www.wanderersrunningclub.org/.
This is not my specialty nor do I have the skills (or motivation at this point) to create something like the Wanderers have. The Wanderers also have set up a Tweeter account that their club members can access and get information out quickly to only the members that want to receive the info. The Tweeter account is different then our message board as you can set up your account to receive these Tweets without having to go to the website.
Hopefully someone will be able to take an interest in doing this. If you are interested or know someone that is, reach out to me at info@delcorrc.com.
Notice I haven't mentioned anything about payment. If that is something that is needed to make this happen, let me know and I'll bring it up to the Board.

| Junior Development Track Meet - June 5th | |
Warm, humid weather prevailed as 135 boys and girls, aged 3 to 18, participated in our annual Jr. Development track meet last Saturday, June 5, at the Strath Haven Middle School all weather track. Our Delco RRC sponsored and directed the meet along with the Swarthmore Recreation Association.
Several local track clubs came out including the Delco Stallions, Overbrook Monarchs, Chester Cheetahs, and AJ's Elite. Competition was divided into six 2-year age groups starting with 8 and under. Two 3-year- old boys ran in the 100 meter trials and they actually stayed in their lanes better than some of the older kids!
Many thanks to Andrew Armour and the dozen parents from the Swarthmore Rec who helped direct the meet. We had two dozen volunteers from our club including Larry Filtz, Marian Filtz, Mary Beth Mundy, Bill Weber, Shirley Weber, Carrie McGoldrick, John Greenstine, Amy Binder, Bob Fyfe, Eric Mundy, Chrissy Mundy, Diane Lista, Mike Gormley, Denise Talbet, George Jackson, Diane Rowe, Bernadette DiLucido, Art Dell, Terry Adamson, Steve Hamilton, Kelly O'Brien, Bill McGurk, Tom Brazill, Phil Anderson, and Byron Mundy.

| Swarthmore Fun Run - Wednesday | |
13 runners and walkers were out last night for the Swarthmore Fun Run despite the rain. Many more people came out to the Adamson's afterward for good food, laughs, chit chat and to watch the Flyers. As the saying goes, "Wait till next year." Come on out and join in the fun. All abilities are welcome. |
