PRESIDENT’S COLUMN BY MICHELLE POUBLON<br />

Dear <strong>Striders</strong>,<br />

It was great to see so many of you on January 21st<br />

at the Nashua Country Club for our annual Awards<br />

Night. Whilt is is always nice to recognize as many<br />

striders as we can, this year was even more special<br />

with our first ever inductees into the <strong>Gate</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />

<strong>Striders</strong> Hall of Fame. What an honor it was to be<br />

in the presence of so many “legends” of the club.<br />

Even though we were only able to recognize a<br />

couple dozen members who shined in competition<br />

or were exceptionally helpful at many of the events<br />

that require GCS volunteers, I thank all of you for<br />

making this club what it is today. So, while you<br />

may not have earned a competition award or<br />

outstanding service award for your efforts, I want<br />

to assure you that our contribution is appreciated!<br />

Now the snow is starting to melt, and the days are<br />

getting longer. It is time to think about which club<br />

races you want to run in, and which ones you can<br />

help out at. As always, everyone is as important as<br />

anyone else. Without all of you, we wouldn’t have<br />

such a great running club. So please don’t feel like<br />

you have to be a record breaking runner to help<br />

our club score points. Everyone who shows up to<br />

help or run makes a positive difference.<br />

Indoor track is in the closing stages, even though it<br />

has been pushed back two weeks due to<br />

cancellations from the weather. That can only<br />

mean we are swiftly approaching our outdoor<br />

season! I look forward to seeing everyone again,<br />

when the weather is nice enough for shorts and tshirt.<br />

Think Spring!<br />
