Club Meeting Schedule
As a reminder, the club always meets on the first and third Monday of the month during the school year.  The next meeting will focus on final prep for the upcoming indoor tri, which primarily involves stuffing race packets.

As always, the meeting will be in the observation area above the pool on the second floor of the rec center. We start the meeting at 5:00pm. If you are new to SIUC or have interest in the club, please feel free to come on by and we will tell you what we are all about.

Rec Your Body Info:
Date set: Sunday, February 25, 2007
We need door prizes for the Rec Your Body indoor tri. See Cay about businesses that have already been contacted, or to obtain a copy of the request/thank you letter.   This is the 10th annual Rec Your Body; the bikes are old and worn.  Carbondale Cycle is donating some bike computers and we are purchasing some more. We will reuse them each year for the indoor tri.  We need volunteers for this event! Ask your friends and s.o.’s to help. Volunteers will be needed from about 8:15 am until 1:00 pm.  We will need tri team members to help stuff packets a night or two before the event.  E-mail Cay to volunteer or for more details. J

Items Discussed:

10th annual Rec Your Body (2007).
It will probably be held the last Saturday in February or the first Saturday in March, as  per the tradition. Cay was assigned to secure a date. We discussed needing more sponsors. Sponsors who donate $100 or more get their name on the t-shirt. Matt suggested we try to solicit the Alumni Association. We need at least 30 volunteers for this event!!! If we don’t secure a volunteer corps, we, the members, can’t participate in the event. Darin suggested using other RSO’s, specifically the cycling club, to help us as we have helped them previously.
