Treasurer Report: submitted and approved by the board

Race Timing: City of Evansville has contacted Mike on the race they would like to hold. But unsure of the date. Mike has checked into the charging fee, discussed. He checked into larger timing clubs, and will check into the smaller ones. We time about 14 races, but only need the computer on 4-6 of these. We can use the card system on races of 150 people or less. This would be up to the race director though. Most like the computer printout. Also discussed, were contracts between race directors and timing. This has always been a verbal agreement. The board voted on a new price increase. It is for out of town races only. $2 per head and $1 per mile on one car load. Evansville races will not be charged that extra $1.

Web Site: no new info at this time

Banquet: We had 130 people attend. This has been the most so far. About 14-18 people did not get meat though. The caterer said if we use him again next year, he will make an extra pan of meat, but only charge if we use it.

Race Calendar: no new info at this time. Janet usually sends this info straight to the printers.

Walkers Report: The SIRW plan to host 3 (if possible) Indiana Association races. 1 track, 1 short road distance and 1 long road distance.

Membership: Will have an update on next meeting.

Newsletter: Feb. deadline is the 15th, (but as this is on a Sunday) he will make it the 16th or 17th. We will have the Ynot2K article, along with the banquet article and photos. Angela will try to make up a list of new members to list so we can recognize those. Toyota had sent an article too. And the Ray Rayl 5k race needs to be mentioned of a date of Nov 5th at 9am.

Picnic: no new info at this time

Step-Up Club: In Jan. they had a leader meeting. One leader came up with a punch card system for the smaller runners, who are to young to go to any races that hold kids ¼ mile races. It is ¼ mile per punch and when they get 5 cards filled, they receive a t-shirt. Plenty of kids are interested, but it is hard to find leaders. Spring Day 8k will be April 24th. On this it was voted by the board (since this is such a big race) that Mike will be paid 75 cents for this race only. As he is receiving all application entries at his home. And entering all these in the computer. It will be $3 per registrant.

Scholarship: We have 9 outstanding applications now. In the tri-state and KY area. Closer to the time of giving this, Tom and Ray will meet with Joe and pick the winners. Then they will bring this to the board for approval. Also the $600 received from the first Ray Rayl race will be put into a CD, to be awarded in the year, 2006. It was discussed that we might open this to college age. This will go under further discussion.

Special Events: Don will tally the surveys, and come up with a figure. Cedric will contact Bill Bussing on having the stadium run again.

Summer Track Program: Gordon has checked with Central on using the track again this summer. This will cost the club $100 per night use. It was voted that Gordon bring in a proposal on this program and the benefits that it will be towards the club. Total cost would be $600.
