Hello friends, Here are the notes from our meeting last night for those who couldn't make it. Take a break, it's a bit long.

 

Our most immediate concern is that we need volunteers for the Cap Tex Expo for our booth. This is a big way we get new members and get the word out, so its important that we have people at the booth. You don't need to be a long time member to volunteer! There are 8 two hour slots that need to be filled. If you will be around that weekend (Saturday, May 24^th) and would like to help us out, PLEASE indicate which slot you would like to work at. (You can type your name in a time and hit reply all, so everyone knows which slots are full.)

The same day at 6:30p we will have a dinner at Aussies Bar and Grill next to the expo with the athletes and families from Dallas. Families are welcome! Please come on by and if you can, let me know ahead of time so that I can make sure Aussies has a table set up for us.

 

Look for our new tent at the Cap Tex Tri Expo and the race! We plan to have it set up at the booth and at the race where friends and teammates can congregate. (Jeff has given us this tent, but would love contributions (tax deductible) to help pay for it. Go to tri4him.org to contribute!)

 

If you haven't yet, PLEASE go to tri4him.org and renew or initiate your membership of the official tri4Him team. There is a $25 annual fee that helps pay for things, like dinners, expos, etc throughout the year. Some of this money directly helps our Austin chapter as well. We'll give you a cool tri4Him sticker for your car at the next meeting if you do! Mine is on my care already!

 

T-shirts! We have new cool t-shirts- kids and women sizes too! They are $10 with a promise to renew your memberships until the Cap Tex weekend. After that they are going to Dallas and only available on line for $16. So get them while they're hot!!

 

We are planning on meeting every 3rd Tuesday of the month, April through September starting at 6 PM (5/20, 6/17, 7/15, 8/19, 9/16) for Pure Austin's Splash and Dash summer series at the Quarry Lake next to North Austin's Pure Austin. It is a 750 m swim in the lake and a 3k run. Bring your own gear- wet suit, running shoes, goggles, swim cap, etc. I think the cost is $10. We will try and have our meeting afterward some of these races if enough people can show up for Tuesdays. There is more info on the race at jackandadams.com

 

 

Greg and Joe are committing to ride every sat. morning. This will most likely be up north. They will send out details.

 

I swim every Monday at about 5:30 at Stacey pool or Barton Springs. If you would like to join me, let me know and we'll coordinate.

 

Guatemala trip- Four members are racing in Flores, Guatemala on June 29^th to help raise funds for scholarships for needy children in that area. 1. If you want to join us, let us know ASAP. 2. We'll be sending out support letters in the next week or so. If you know of any friends and family that would be interested in contributing, let us know and we'll send the info to them or you can contact them for us! 3. Support us! Support us in prayer as we prepare for the race, for the children we are helping and for the traveling and race itself. AND support us financially! Go to tri4him.org and there is a link set up to contribute to our trip.- And its tax deductible!

I went ahead and attached some info on to this email to let ya'll know more!

 

Below are some of the triathlons this season that our members are racing in. We will try and have the tri4him tent for members to congregate under at the local races our team members are participating in. If you have others you are racing in, let me know and we'll to add them to the list. If you want to tent there, let us know and we'll make arrangements.
