Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers March 2016 Dear Lake Grapevine It's another busy month at LGRAW! The RRCA National Convention at Dallas is finally here March 17 ­ 19, along with Grasslands Trail Run the same weekend on Saturday, March 19, where many members will be "Off to the Races," and others will be volunteering at the RAW aid station. We'll also find time to make it to the Shannon Brewery 5K the week before on Saturday, March 12. If you've ever thought about directing a club race, this is your chance. We are looking for a race director for LGRAW's Double Trouble 5K & 10K this fall. I know it seems early, but we will need to start planning soon to make sure that everything is in line by race day. Since I have directed the race for the past two years, I'd be glad to answer any questions you may have, help set up the race website and registration site, and share contacts for vendors that we have used in the past. I'll assist as much or as little as you would like. If you have any questions or would like to discuss what it takes to direct a race, please talk to me at the clubhouse or e­mail president@lgraw.com. On the topic of volunteering, the annual July 4th Board Election will also be here before you know it. The positions of vice president and treasurer are up for election, as well as two director positions. If you're interested in becoming more involved with LGRAW, this is a great opportunity to help out. Any current board member will be glad to explain what a board position entails and answer any questions that you may have. See you at the lake! Chris Morris LGRAW President Please note that your LGRAW membership expires on LGRAW

New Membership Policy We're trying to make your LGRAW membership renewal process easier. Starting in 2017, all memberships will expire on January 31. To transition to the new process for membership renewals, those people whose membership renews fall between January through April will be charged the full membership price in 2016 ($20 individual or $30 family), and their membership will expire on January 31, 2017. Those who renew May through October will be charged half price ($10 individual or $15 family), and their membership will also expire on January 31, 2017. Memberships that renew in November or December will be charged for a full year, but their 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.

LGRAW Board Meeting Don't forget to check out the March LGRAW Board Meeting! The meeting will take place on Monday, March 14, 7 PM at the Clubhouse. All members are welcome to attend. Do you have an agenda item you would like to add? Email the board secretary by Thursday, March 10.
