Dear Squannie, Welcome to the second issue of the SQRR
Quarterly Newsletter. Thanks so much for all the positive feedback many of
you sent upon reading the last issue. As you can see from the amount of email
traffic, it's a busy summer. It's wonderful to see everyone energized and
coming up with new ideas for activities. Again, if you have any suggestions on
content or improvements to this newsletter, please let me know. Enjoy
reading!
The Squannie crew, headed by Mark G. and Ted
M. has stormed Westford. Mark has a perfect attendance record and Ted is in
first place overall with a number of impressive gold, silver and bronze
finishes. Mark organized a successful 'SQRR night'. Great Job! One Sunday morning we treated the citizens
of Gordon produced a 'Stroller run' that drew
strong attendance from a gang of tadpole pushing parents. Gordon suggests
that we turn this into a regular feature called 'Heathen Day Care'. The overwhelming turnout out at Dunstable
Firecracker 5K was initiated by Mark, Ursula and 42 of their relatives. (I
think the final count was around 25 Squannie affiliates, many in team
uniform.) Bottom line; we owned that race. We even brought home some hardware
for the clubhouse trophy case! Say this three times fast: "Tyngsboro
Try a tri". If you don't mind exploring Dracut, go to the Club Fluer du
Lis, (French for "my whole body hurts"), join Dave Wilder and Let's not forget the hazing of yet another
wave of young recruits via the summer track and field program. They have
pulled it off again. What kid wouldn't want to be doing 800s on the track on
a sweltering August afternoon? Go down some night and lend them a hand or
just cheer the kids on. Best of all we have welcomed at least four
new members to our club recently. Welcome! Tell us all about yourselves and
join us for a run! Of course Linda complains that there is too
much running and not nearly enough drinking. Look for her to organize a
'course certification' meeting at a local watering hole. If you have never
certified a course with the Squannacook executive staff, prepare to be
entertained (and bring your best dirty jokes). I don't know about y'all, but I think it's
great that we are doing some new things and some events that involve the
families and kids. Take a moment to serve me up some more good ideas for the
rest of the year. There's life in this old club, and I'd like to thank you
all for having me as cruise director for the last couple of months. If you
have any suggestions, complaints or dirty jokes, feel free to write them on
the back of a $100 dollar bill and mail them to me. Thanks for the support,
Program management and coaching is being
provided by Andrew Horton, Kerri Strauss and Brett Hall in conjunction with
the Groton Recreation Department. There are many young volunteers helping to
make this year's program a success as well. Participants are learning about all aspects
of track and field events, including the pole vault, shot put and
hurdles--all with an emphasis on fun. SqRR will provide some funding as part of
the
The content has been reorganized and new
sections added such as the photo album and favorite runs. Please take a few
minutes to look at the new site and if you have photos, articles, or whatever
you'd like to have included, please email them to Kev Molloy.
I asked each of the new members to provide
some information about themselves. From Andrea: I grew up in Hopefully we'll hear from Jackson and Jim in
the next issue.
If you have something you'd like to add to
the calendar, please let me know. We'll post it on the sqrr.org web site.
As a result of the last newsletter Bob Lotz
suggested adding a section for everyone's favorite runs. Just the kind of
input I'm looking for! A new section has been added to the club web site
titled "Favorite Runs". There are three runs listed there now from
Bob, Chris Russell, and Jim Podolske. Several of the runs are illustrated with
photos and Bob Lotz's includes topographic maps! Talk about being
thorough--he must be an engineer. ;-)
