Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers June 2016 Dear Lake Grapevine We are only one month away from one of the best events of the yearthe July 4th picnic. This LGRAW tradition is the perfect event to attend with family, to socialize with fellow members and to enjoy the best seat in town for the Grapevine fireworks display. Be sure to save the date and look for more details coming soon. Dinner begins around 5:30 p.m. The picnic is also the day for our Annual Membership Meeting. Following dinner, we will hold our annual meeting and board election at 7 p.m. The winner of RAW's prestigious "Best Foot Forward Award" will also be announced during the meeting. We hope that each of you can attend, but if you must miss it, details are below on how you can cast your vote in the board election by email or postal mail. Don't forget to sign up for our summer "RAW Off to the Races" events. The xSIGHTment 5K in Colleyville on Saturday, June 4, is always a popular event for our club. Be sure to sign up under our "Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers" team. It's not too hilly, and there will be pancakes served afterwards. You may also pick up one of the "eye" trophies, if you place in your age group. Also, save some money by signing up for the Rise Above the Flood Grapevine Lake 5K with the code "RAW16." The race will be held Saturday, July 30, at Grapevine Craft Brewery, and all proceeds go to help restore the lake parks to their preflood condition. See you at the lake! Chris Morris LGRAW President Please note that your LGRAW membership expires on LGRAW
New Membership Policy We're making the LGRAW membership renewal process easier. Starting in 2017, all memberships will expire on January 31. Those who renew through October will be charged half price ($10 individual or $15 family), and membership will also expire on January 31, 2017. Memberships that renew in November or December will be charged for a full year, but membership won't expire until January 31, 2018. We will also transition the process for new LGRAW members. Those who join the club January through June will pay the full membership price and then renew in January of the next year. Anyone who joins in July through December will pay the full price and be paid until January of the following year. For example, a new membership initiated in May 2016 will expire in January 2017, and a new membership initiated in October 2016 will expire in January 2018. We will do our best to avoid confusion during this transition by communicating the change as memberships expire. Please watch your email and submit any questions to membership@lgraw.com.
Membership System Transition
Memberships to be processed through TheDriven.net To provide added flexibility and to resolve issues that have impacted some of our members, we will be transitioning to TheDriven.net to track and collect payment for LGRAW memberships. We will soon begin to send renewal reminders from TheDriven, but if you submit your payment through RunSignUp, don't worry! We will make sure that you are properly credited, and that your membership is extended appropriately during this transition period. If you do not receive your reminder email, you can find current membership renewal information at http://www.lgraw.com/membership. Fees for payments submitted through TheDriven are exactly the same as RunSignUp. We also intend to transition our race registrations to TheDriven this year. TheDriven works with many races in the DFW Metroplex and nationwide, as well as with clubs like Dallas Running Club. If you have any questions about your membership, email membership@lgraw.com. For any other questions about the transition to TheDriven, please email president@lgraw.com.
