We are getting ready to start our 5th season. Please take a few minutes
to complete the survey to help us improve the group.

I am especially interested in making the group more welcome to new and
slower runners. I am concerned that we may seem intimidating to many
new runners. I do want everyone to feel comfortable and welcome, and to
have fun at the runs. Whether you are a regular or have never run with
us before, please give me your feedback.

Place all answers to the LEFT (colors are OK). E.g.
X_Yes
_No

Please copy and paste the survey (below) into a new message (so I don't
have to deal with those pesky ">"). Put "Spring 04 Survey" in the
subject line. Mail the survey to runahill @ yahoo.com

Thanks,
Adam
