RRCA Coaching clinic coming to
Green Bay
I am the Membership Director for the Green Bay Running Club and on
weekend of June 12 & 13,
after the Bellin 10k, I have arranged for two coaches
from the Road Runners Club of
America (RRCA) to come to Green Bay and
offer the RRCA Coaching Certification Program. The
cost of the two day program is $250 payable to RRCA.
After successful completion of the RRCA Certified
Coaching Course, new coaches will be added to the online
roster of RRCA Certified Coaches and granted access
rights to the coach’s private page. Additional
information may be found at this site
http://www.rrca.org/coaches/
As you can see from the website, the closest location for the RRCA
Certification course is Ohio,
and there are no other classes scheduled for
Wisconsin
in 2010. There are 30 slots available, and I was
wondering if you could post this and my home e-mail
address (anioljcje@sbcglobal.net)
to your website.

IN
MEMORY OF BRET YOUNGER
 The
PaceSetters mourn the loss of Bret Younger... a friend... a board
member... a runner.
Bret you will be sorely missed by all of us... and we send our prayers
and deepest sympathy to your family and friends. Words are poor
things when we suffer the loss of a loved one. Bret was a
special person, who shared the joy of life like no other.
Memories of your time with us are fresh and hopefully will carry us
through our grief. Thank You Bret!
Love, the PaceSetter Family
