Couple of HARRA Board Comments about Party In The Park
Audrey Christiansen - "It appeared to me that we had a good Party in the Park on Saturday. Membership sign-up did go well. We had about 60 single membership sign-ups and about 20 household sign-ups. Don't have the breakdown of new to renewals - many people weren't sure. It seemed like quite a few people had been members previously, but not in recent years."
Bruce Mansur - "It was a good turnout by the local runners at Memorial. Everyone enjoyed the food, drinks, and the ice cream!"
My two cents ...
I didn't get there until about 9:45 a.m. and when I got there, I immediately saw Vic, Sarah, Joe and June standing in the HRB circle in the middle of all of the tents. (Joe had said that Steve Bezner had already been over.)
And from there it was a flurry of activity and talking to numbers of different people --
+ Introduced Sarah to Bruce Mansur, who promptly walked her around so that she could meet all of the other HARRA Board members.
+ Introduced myself to Al Lawrence Running Club's Melissa Henderson.
+ Pointed out to everyone who Drew Prisner, the 2002 Houston Marathon winner, was.
+ Talked to Bayou City Road Runners president Joe Sellers.
+ Met Bay Area Running Club's Veronica Hoge and told her that I might go down to Clear Lake and join them on their Pub Crawl on Saturday, September 9th - as long as all of the stops had Mountain Dew.
+ Chatted for awhile with HARRA president Anna Sumrall Helm (She was pleased things were going well.)
+ Saw fellow Board Members Audrey Christiansen and Roger Boak as well as Director Tom McBrayer.
+ Talked a little bit with German Collazos about Western States (more on that in September's edition of Footprints)
+ Found out from Bayou City Road Runners' Mark Fraser that he didn't have any 48-hour runs on the horizon!
+ Had very good chats with friends of mine from the Houston Striders, Barry Chambers and Lee Greb.
Bayou City Road Runners, the Houston Striders, the Tornados Running Club, Memorial Park Running Club, Team In Training, Bay Area Running Club, Runners' High Running Club, Terlingua Track Club and the Al Lawrence Running Club all had their tents out -- in addition, of course, to the HARRA tent!
It seemed like everyone there did indeed have a great time!
