| Hello Delco RRC - Want to write the weekly email or ...? |
If you have any interest in taking over, contact me at [email protected] and I'll give you the information you need. You can also contact Diane Lista at the same email address. I do not have the time to keep this newsletter up on a weekly basis.
Also looking for a couple of other positions to be filled. The club is looking for someone to maintain and update the club website and to check the club email on a frequent basis and forward emails to who needs them and respond to inquiries.
Thanks, Mike G. |

| Haverford Reserve Run |
The grounds of the former Haverford State Hospital are now a development with beautiful parks, recreation facilities and trails(many built by Mike Cras, Janet Smith's brother) to run on. This race below is put on by the Haverford Twp. Rec. Dept. and benefits the maintenance of these trails. I plan to run this and hope to see many of you out there supporting these trails.
