Attending: Christy, Bill, Alison, Gale, Paul, Carolyn, Len, Cheryl, Tjalling, Polly, and Scott

Secretary’s Report: The minutes of December 3, 2006 and January 15, 2007 were approved.

Treasurer’s Report: Gale will report after the end of the 1st quarter.

Membership: Bill reported membership at 564 with 354 households/newsletters. 260 of last year’s members had not renewed.

Website: No report; Rick was absent.

Events/Activities: The Holiday Party will be arranged by Polly and Rene Wendt. Christy talked about the duties of the summer BBQ planners. No one has made a firm commitment to plan the summer event.

Newsletter: Cheryl and Paul discussed content wanted in the newsletter. They will have Rules of the Road in the next edition. The policy of no pets in races and no I-Pods was included in the current newsletter. Trail etiquette, race or run stories, and volunteer stories were also suggested.

Equipment/ Technical Coordinator: Alison ordered a new measuring wheel. The Chronomix (damaged after falling off the tripod in the wind at the Birch Bay Marathon) is being fixed and will not be available for the Honeywagon or 50K.

More Runner on Road signs are needed and a cooler was missing after the 50K.

The number of keys to the storage locker and access to the locker are a concern.

Race Director Liaison: Tjalling reported the Two for the Road had about the same number of participants as last year. The Birch Bay Marathon had 53 marathon and 45 25K runners.

The high school track/x-country team volunteer program is working well. The Lynden team is helping with the Honeywagon, the Sehome team with the Haggen to Haggen, and Squalicum helps with the Lake Samish Runs. The WWU cycling team volunteers for the Birch Bay Marathon. The WWU women’s rowing team may want to volunteer for a run.

Ed and Kathleen Harri are stepping down as race directors for the Mudfest in November. A new director is needed and the Harris will help the new RD with the race.

Christy asked the scholarship committee to meet the first week of June to read the applications. Several board members volunteered and will meet June 4 at 6pm at Christy’s.

Scott reported that PayPal was being used for payments for races. The BBM had 51 pay by PayPal and the 50K had 223. Scott will retain the records from PayPal.

Scott agreed to audit our books for 2006.

Polly will take over the sweatshirt sales and inventory.

Mary Steinberg needs to be removed from the contacts list. We will let Rick know.

The next board meeting will be Monday, May 21, 6:30pm at the Health Ed. Center.

Carolyn Nordtvedt, Secretary
