Welcome
Coach Sebetka and Coach Sage would like to welcome all the new runners and their families to the team. The summer conditioning program was a great success and we are looking forward to a very promising season. For those new to the team, you can expect a RCC Bulletin every week with all the latest meet and team information. We also make every effort to post the Bulletin on the team web site which can be found at: www.geocities.com/raiderun, in the unlikely event that one of the runners might forget to bring the printed version home (yeah right). So check out the web site by Tuesday evening for the latest news.

Volunteer Help
So far this season we are planning to either host  or co-host two to three meets and we need as many parents to help as possible. First and foremost, we need help for this weekend’s meet at Cocoa Beach. We need water station, finish line, registration, and concession help. Contact either coach about helping at the race this weekend. If you can help with future meets, please keep the following dates/meets open:
9-20: Raider Classic (F. Burton Smith Park)
10-25: Districts--still TBD (F. Burton Smith)

Important Parent Meeting
To help all the new parents become more familiar with the team and to organize the Raider Classic race committee, we will have a meeting at 7:15PM on Wednesday, August 27 in the commons area of the school. Please make plans to attend.

Sponsorship Drive
The team sponsorship program is not doing very well. The deadline for sponsors is this week. Each runner that gets two sponsors will receive either a new warm up or some other yet-to-be-determined running product. If you need more information or forms, please contact Coach Sage. The deadline is this Friday. We have to wrap it up quickly so as not to hold up printing the team shirts.

Team Shirts
We need to know right away how many parents would like a team shirt and what size. The runners get the shirts for free. The parent’s shirts are $10. Please let either coach know how many shirts you want.

Transportation
With the exception of the flrunners, Region, and State meets, we will need to rely heavily upon parents driving athletes to the meets. This week we will be sending home required insurance verification forms. If you can drive kids to the meets, please fill out and return this form ASAP.
