- Rachel, an acupuncturist with Ad Astra Acupuncture, 106 North Park Street in Lawrence, introduced herself as recently moved to Lawrence from Portland where she specialized in the treatment of runners. Macey currently receives acupuncture services from Rachel and spoke regarding its benefits.
- Shannon and Dan presented their vision for a Lawrence based youth running program. Shannon would develop a program for K-5 that comes alongside and provides further training, workouts and possible competition to children involved with the elementary school running clubs. Dan will focus on grades 6-8. There is a current dearth of running support opportunities for sixth grade students. It is Dan’s hope that students who have been inspired to take up running in elementary school can continue and expand their interest in the sport through this program. Dee said sponsoring such a program is certainly within the scope of our club’s purpose and governance under RRCA. She will need to complete the paperwork necessary to include the program on the club insurance. Shannon and Dan will continue to refine the details with targeted start in the summer 2013. They plan to charge a fee to the participants in order to support the program. Don moved, Paul seconded and the motion passed to have runLawrence sponsor and support this program.
