You'll notice a change or two in this upcoming August/September edition of the Newsletter. I hope you like them; I hope you'll tell me otherwise. One change, I undertook, as an enthusiastic Newsletter Editor, was to actively solicit several races to promote their race in a column called "RUNNING AHEAD."
As I chatted with the various Race Directors I observed that:
- Race directors liked it! It was targeted advertising at a small cost. Ocean State Marathon (a large race) sought a listing for 2 months with an enclosed application; Montague Mug Race loved it (a small race with a small budget and the $15 is money well spent for directed advertising).
- Members should appreciate it. I for one like the idea of seeing a comprehensive listing of all area races rather than just the CMS races.
The purpose of the newsletter is to inform. Member like to know about upcoming races (CMS and otherwise) Tell us what you think.
