CVR Birthdays this week:
Happy Birthday to: Anya Carlson, Michael Flanders, & Kelsie Meehan
Greetings from Adamant,
A big thank you to Maryellen Copping and crew for the 24th Mutt Strutt. There were 45 runners and a lot of dogs all in one place at one time. Devyn LaFrance with Arlo was the first female and John Paul Krol with Felix was the first male. The complete results are posted on our web page ( mutt-strut-combined-2022 (cvrunners.org) ) There was a nice photo on the front page of Tuesday’s Times Argus. There are also a number of photos on the club Facebook page.
John Valentine reported that Evan Thornton-Sherman was the Vermont Boys Cross-country Player of the year. He was awarded $1000 and he chose to donate the money to CVR. I will be sending him a thank you card from CVR.

Green-up Day
Mack Gardner-Morse reported that he’s seeing a lot of litter on the Fun Run Course. Vermont’s Green Up Day is Saturday May 7th. So, he’s thinking Thursday May 5th from about 5:15 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. is a good day to get CVR members together to help Green Up the Fun Run course.
Mac willing to bring Green Up bags, a few nitrile gloves (limited sizes) , hand sanitizer, and our pickup truck for carting away the bags.
All we need are some willing volunteers!
