What Is Expected Of A Pasadena Pacer:
- 1. Buy and wear a red shirt of the Saturday runs and at all Pacer Races
- 2. Volunteer to run a water station at least once per season or supply food/snacks for at least one Saturday during your event training.
- 3. Participate
- 4. Elevate the spirits of your fellow pacers. Do your part to build winners in your midst.
Parking:
Please park north of the bathrooms. Parking spaces marked RBAC do not belong to us. Let's do our part to keep good relations with our neighbors.
Safety:
Please use common courtesy when using neighborhood streets. Keep close to single file so cars don't have to swerve around you. Try to always face traffic so that you can see cars and cyclists. Music is nice but it reduces awareness and makes you more vulnerable. It also reduces the opportunity to interact with fellow runners. Be careful around the Rose Bowl. There is a movement afoot to eliminate bicyclists from the Rose Bowl. Runners might be next! Let's try to avoid running in the wrong direction in the Bowl. Go across the street when headed north and run on the trail.
New Membership:
An organization will shrink and fade into the past if it is not continually nurtured with new members. Use your Pacers Promo Cards to recruit friends, family and co-workers. Your red shirt and friendly attitude are the greatest public relation assets; use them.
E-Mails
Keep your group informed and motivated through the yahoo group. Keep your communication related to running and the Pacers. Advertising non-pacers activities are subject to being blocked. If in doubt submit it to the President.
The Green Can:
We have no fees for the Pacers but that doesn't mean that we have no expenses. We want the Pacers to be available to everyone and we want a minimum of administration, hence no fees and no treasurer. We do need money for operations and right now I estimate that is probably cost about $20.00 per person for each event. Please visit the green can and make the interior of it green with cash.
Coaches:
The more you communicate with encouragement, acknowledgement of achievement and admiration the stronger your group will be. Coaches are special people; they are the source of energy for the group. Never engage in quarrel or quibble. My goal for you is to grow as a person during your tenure.
You are of such esteemed value that if you have an injury I will help you at no charge.
