Good Afternoon All interested Baker to Vegas runners and volunteers,
We wanted to touch base with all of you and let you know what has been going on planning B2V 2011.
First of all, we are already doing some fundraising to help pay for the entry fee, the command center suit and other incidentals the race requires. There are t-shirts you can purchase that help the team, while at the same time making a donation to the Coast Guard Foundation's Family Disaster Relief Fund that is directly supporting the families of the 6017 crash at this point in time. If you are interested in purchasing one (or more!) of these shirts, please see/ask one of the team captains (if you are local in SD) or go to www.allteamsportsinc.com and click on our logo. These shirts will be on sale until December. So hurry and get them while they last!
Second, all three of us will be heading to the Baker to Vegas Team Captain's meeting in Los Angeles 13 October to really get this season started off on the correct running shoe. We are planning on holding a team meeting 14 Oct. It will be in San Diego aboard Sector. If you are not in the area or can't make it, I will send out meeting minutes to keep you up to speed.
Third, we have received a lot of interest for runners - THANK YOU! We will discuss at the meeting how we will determine our team.
That about covers it. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the Team Captains: Lt. j.g. Bill Burwell, Sector San Diego, william.j.burwell@uscg.mil, 619.278.7020, PA1 Allyson Conroy D11 Public Affairs Detachment, San Diego, Allyson.e.conroy@uscg.mil, 619.278.7022 or BM3 Mike Lesley, Reserve, Coast Guard Station Channel Islands, Michael.R.Lesley@Team1790.us, (818) 335-6553.
Keep running, keep smiling and have a wonderful day!
Warmest Regards,
Your Team 1790 Team Captains
