Hi CVR Members,
Welcome to March! My final month of writing you all a weekly news and notes. Did anyone notice the “Magic Number” at the end of this email? Only one person seems to have noticed and asked me what it meant. There is no real meaning other than the number of remaining news and notes I need to write!
March means warmer weather, more participation in events, election of new officers and sap flowing with the changes in temperatures. Speaking of sap, how many of you know that the Kaynor’s Sap Run 10K on March 27th put on by GMAA is the 2nd race in our series in 2022 after the New Year’s Eve 5K? The race season is coming upon us fast, unfortunately until then there is not a lot to write about. So let’s get into what news I do have.
Winter Group Runs
The group met at the Middlesex park and ride and most everyone took the long course up dreaded McCullough Hill Road, at least dreaded for some of us. A cool morning but a beautiful day for running and the views were fantastic. This Saturday the run will be in Waterbury and hosted by Bob Emmons. Those on the mailing list will get the details as usual. New members or those not already on the mailing list that want to be added please reply to this email and I will add you.
CVR Annual Meeting
The annual meeting is coming up soon, Sunday, March 27th at 4:00 PM. It will be live and virtual. A link to the virtual meeting was already sent out and if you have misplaced that don’t worry as I will include it in the next couple of news and notes. Those meeting live will will do so at Ann Bushey’s residence. I will also provide those detail to members who indicated they would join live in the survey. If you have not done the survey yet please do so now.

CVR Annual Dinner – Thursday, March 24
With Covid cases dropping substantially, I am hoping there is a renewed interest in the annual dinner. So far replies to John have been slow. Remember that those who had previously sent John Martin a note that you would be attending the dinner for the January date, you will need to RSPV him again. We need to make sure how many can attend. Please respond to John by March 21st. You can send an email by clicking here John Martin.
CVR Newsletter
Our next newsletter will be coming up the first week of March. Please submit your articles to Alice McCormick by March 1st.
Race Directors Meeting
Jackie Jancaitis has set up a Race Directors meeting for Sunday, March 13th at 4 pm. The meeting is open to all members. If you would like to join the meeting please reach out to Jackie and she will provide you with the link.
