Hey Everyone it is your boy Dave over here,
It has been quite a year, the club adopted a new name, created a new mission statement (it is on the blog page), we redesigned our logo and club gear, we put on a series of new events, we redesigned our website for improved communication, we were at many events supporting our athletes, we brought on a lot of talent in the management group and our membership has grown and includes a lot of new and returning faces.
That was last year; in 2009 we plan to perfect our events, include more community building activities, hold 4 more mini-triathlons, put on a two day triathlon event May 2-3, we are working on putting together more event based training rides and perhaps a mentor program. That is a lot.

The reason that I believe we can make agenda listed above happen is that we have been able to attract many new people that have tremendous skills sets - like you and your friends. Our people have business or technical backgrounds in medicine, engineering, management, advertising, finance and graphic arts just to mention a few. We will need your assistance in the coming year.
This organization is about athletes helping athletes – in a supportive environment – having fun together and entering into enduring relationships. We are building a movement of inclusion. When I talk to people at the beach, or at the market in Blue Diamond or on a run, I treat them like members that haven't decided to sign up-yet. I guess I am a big believer in what we are delivering to our community. So get with your friends and join the movement! Tell your story, give us your ideas. The first words out my mouth when we get a new idea are "how can we incorporate that into what we are doing" which is why we have a Blog, a message board, a facebook site which is a work in progress and several other projects under development. Things will change; and this club will be a part of it!!
Within two weeks we will begin accepting 2009 memberships. Last year we had 4 mini-events at the lake including 3 triathlons that were basically sprint distances - the cost per member for these was $0 thanks to our sponsors. Can you believe that! Think of families with kids who want to participate together what an unbelievable deal! We also had a picnic and socials about every other month among other things. That is our base line for this year – we are planning on delivering more, beginning with a 2009 season kickoff party in January.
Our membership director team, Julie and Robert Hosea, tell me that we will be offering next year’s memberships at last year’s prices until the first of January when there will be an increase of $5-$15 depending on whether it is an individual $40 or family membership $55.
See you in the coming year if not sooner!!
