More Preliminary 2001 FLRC Calendar Updates

1. Apologies to Steve Ryan and Jon Marks, directors of the Frolics, for leaving them off our peek-a-boo update last month. That beloved race is so well done, that we have little to say. It's on the calendar for July 15.

2. The powers that be decided NOT to send out trail packets to everyone (or anyone) this year, as we did in the past. It's a huge expense, so you can download each one off our FLRC website or wait patiently each month to receive the entry in your newsletter.

3. Murphy's Law: The ink wasn't even dry on the calendar page, and our first Dec. indoor track meet was cancelled. Cornell decided to put down a new track surface earlier in Dec. than expected. Our meets will resume in January. See enclosed calendars.
