MEETING CALLED TO ORDER AT 6:45 P.M.
Motion to adopt agenda was made, seconded and passed. The minutes from the May members’ dinner
meeting at Papago Park were discussed and deferred for later approval.
Jim Burgess questioned the late arrival of his newsletter. Editor Adam Hunt explained that
information and articles are not arriving on time for publications.
Mr. Burgess also remarked and questioned if the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation allow exchange
of money at events.
Editor Adam Hunt reported interest in reading the newsletter on-line is good. We are currently
printing 1600 copies and they are mailed at a cost of $350.00 per monthly issue. The Board suggested
including running profiles once again in our newsletter and offered these reasons for providing a
newsletter. Racing calendars, race results and current events are some of the reasons discussed.
Visitor Lindsey reported a visit to the Kyrene office on a Saturday at 2:00 P.M. and found the office
closed.

with your "mongrel" and will benefit the new dog park at Steele Park in Phoenix. Sandra mentioned
AZTECH Training would like to see ARR consider presenting a training program for The Rock n Roll
Marathon. Further discussion will follow. The treasurer’s report indicates a balance of $4000.00 and
a $2000.00 deposit ready for the bank.
Extensive discussions followed in regard to The Steering Committee. Factually, the committee has
not been productive and has added no value to the club. In addition, four of the five committee
members have resigned. A motion was made and seconded to eliminate The Steering Committee. The
motion was carried by a unanimous vote.
Meeting adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
