Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers July 2016 Dear Lake Grapevine It's coming up on one year that I've been president, and I thank all of you for your encouragement, advice, as well as the time and effort that each of you put into making this a great club. The success of this club is reflection of everything that the members do to make LGRAW so welcoming and fun. We couldn't do it without you! To celebrate another year, please join us at the July 4th Picnic and Annual Membership Meeting at the LGRAW Clubhouse. This is when we hold our Board of Directors election and award the highlycoveted Best Foot Forward. It's a BYOB and potluck, so check out details on what to bring below. The club will grill burgers, chicken, and provide a vegetarian option. The Rise Above The Flood 5K is coming up on Saturday, July 30 at Grapevine Craft Brewery. All proceeds go to helping restore the lake parks to their preflood condition, and many of your LGRAW friends will be there don't miss it! See you at the lake! Chris Morris LGRAW President
In Memory
Elise Cerami The RAW family's collective hearts were broken to hear the news that Elise Cerami had passed away at the alltoo early age of 13. Elise's mother, Lori Cerami, was a longtime RAW member and was a fixture at the clubhouse for a number of years. Many of us remember the happy news when Lori and her husband David discovered they were expecting their first child. Elise (center) volunteering at the Double Trouble with her mom (left) and FAANT staff member. Elise was an elite, competitive swimmer with the North Texas Natadores, and had recently earned a spot on the Southlake Carroll swim team, where she was looking forward to her freshman year. While Elise's passion was swimming, she also followed in her mother's footsteps as a cross country runner at Carroll Middle School. Elise volunteered at RAW's Double Trouble race along with her mom and her mom's colleagues from Foot and Ankle Associates of North Texas (FAANT), where RAW member and Lori's longtime running partner, Dr. Marybeth Crane, practices. After the birth of her second child, Bryce, Lori took a break from running, and further turned her attention to her children and their activities. Elise began swimming competitively at the age of 7, and her enthusiasm inspired Lori to learn to swim. Elise was also a gifted honors student and an avid reader. Like many teenage girls, Elise's interests were varied and the list was long. Elise loved her new Weimaraner puppy, Thibs, music, and the Netflix series "Supernaturals." Elise will be immeasurably missed by her family, friends, and everyone who knew and loved her. The Cerami family has asked that donations in memory of Elise go toward a future Elise Cerami Memorial Scholarship Fund. In addition, checks may be made out to Carroll ISD with "Elise Cerami Memorial" in the subject line. Memorial donations may be brought in person to the community service for students, dropped off at the Carroll Administration Center or mailed to CISD at 2400 N. Carroll Avenue, Southlake, TX 76092.
