It was a dark and stormy morning… and the afternoon didn't get any better. The only ones who got a rain-free run were the real late runners and control picker-uppers (Joel Shore, Jim Russell and Linda Kohn). Registration was quite smoothly handled by Richard & Nancy Burgey, Elizabeth Hane, Carol Moran and Joel Shore. Refreshments were superb with luscious brownies from Sandra Lomker, Linda Kohn and Sandi Willsey-Lemen. Sandi also made the tasty banana bread which was made even more delicious by popping it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Sandra Lomker took care of bringing the rest of the refreshments. Looks like everybody liked them since there wasn't much left at the end of the meet. Karl Kolva and Jim Russell helped out with clinics for beginners. Dayle Lavine put out the string-O and Rick Lavine worked the finish, taking over from his former math student Lindsay Worner. Stina Bridgeman got everyone started on time. Rick Worner was meet director which means he filled in wherever he was needed but mostly was responsible for talking to everyone, a job that was rivaled only by Lindsay Worner, the official greeter. The most fun job went to Linda Kohn who set the courses. That means she got to spend a few sunny afternoons and one thunder-stormy morning course setting and putting out controls.

Jim Tappon was on hand to publicize the Relay-for-Life event (fund raiser for the American Cancer Society) that will be held on Friday, June 1st. Come and join him and other club members as they walk/run throughout the night in memory of Tom Moran and Pege Brooks (ROC members who passed away from cancer) and in support of our ROC cancer survivors.

The highlight of the entire meet came when Tom Cornell revealed the new 2007 ROC t-shirts. If you missed out on getting one today he has some left and will be selling them ($7) at the next meet at Mendon. …and now, what you've all been waiting for…
