The minutes of the May 8, 2002 meeting were approved.

Race Reports:

Tom Bugliosi Trail Runs: Lorrie reported for Tess that the race was wet, well done with a good turnout.

Summer Evening Track Series: Tim reported that the first series race was basically a weather-washout. The second race had about 45 Ithaca United track team participants and about 15-20 others.

Rec-Way 10K: Jeff reported that the race had 45 runners, down from last year. The race netted about $97.

Tortoise and Hare: Jen reported by e-mail that the race had 117 runners, up from last year's numbers. The parking issue still hasn't been worked out.

Upcoming Races:

Ithaca Twilight: Todd reported 36 pre-registrations to date. He needs help with chute, timing and results. He has secured Finger Lakes School of Massage and is trying to get the use of IHS gym in case of inclement weather.

Finger Lakes Fifties: Joe reported that awards have been taken care of and that he's working on the T-shirts. It was noted that the race coincides with the 200th anniversary celebration of the town of Hector.

Ithaca 5 & 10: John reported that the DWI contribution for last year's race was finally in hand. Lorrie was concerned that the modified course would not get certified in time because Eric Smith was so busy. She was going to investigate others who might do the certification. Leone Timing is going to be hired to do the registration, timing and results.

Finances:
John Sholeen reported that the Club checking account has a balance of $7400 and the scholarship fund was at $1560. Long term investment tally was not available until the quarterly report is issued.

Scholarship Award:
Lorrie read a letter of nomination for scholarship for Amanda Lockett to attend the Aim High Running Camp. A committee of Tessa and Lorrie voted to award Amanda a scholarship of $150. Alan (the third member of the scholarship committee) recused from the deliberations. Alan also noted that the award should be contingent on Amanda being able to register (there is limited enrollment). Lorrie also announced that there would be a new 3-member scholarship committee appointed for the coming year.

Newsletter:
Diane was seeking biography write- ups for Hartshorne award winners, Rick Hoebeke and Tim. She also needs the Fillmore race entry. Diane noted that the Ithaca Times will have an article on the FLRC featuring Lorrie.

Membership:
No report.

Web Page:
Tom Meyer reported no problems.

Equipment:
Jim Miner reported all equipment was accounted for. He commented that equipment is to be picked up from him, his job isn't to deliver it. Herb moved that the club purchase a new laptop and accessories for up to $1500. This purchase should include FileMaker Pro. John seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Jim Bisogni will make the purchase.

VP Reports:

Trails: Joe reported that the plaque for Lawrence memorial bench was ready to be inscribed.

Track: No report.

Roads: No report.

The next Board meeting will be September 12, 2001.

The meeting was adjourned at 6:45 PM.
