Building Steam Group Leaders
Meeting for Building Steam group leaders will be 6:00 pm Wednesday, March 24 and Wednesday, March 31 at the RiverPlex. It is only necessary to attend one meeting. We welcome new group leaders (we will put you with experienced group) and returning group leaders. Building Steam had 427 participants and 78 group leaders last year, and could have used more leaders. The first night of Building Steam will be April 7. Our 11 week program is designed for beginning runners and walkers to have fun, train at a comfortable pace, and complete the Steamboat Classic 4 mile race on June 19. The Red Cross give a presentation on CPR at the group leaders meeting. Group leaders are given a complimentary entry to the Steamboat Classic. If you can be a group leader, want more information, and can let us know which night you can come to the leader meeting it would be appreciated. Please call 253-2420 or e-mail at: tri-mac@sbcglobal.net Amy Weis, Sal Perillo, Jim McIntyre
