Award & Cookie Pick Up on Saturday!

Posted on by
Here’s to a weird but great 2020 XC running season at East!
We are looking forward to our Virtual Banquet this Sunday, 11/8 at 3:00!  We are limited to 100 people, so we ask that when possible, families use one device to connect to the Virtual Banquet.  Here is the link:  http://meet.google.com/nun-umxb-xjj
Prior to the banquet, we do have a few items for Runners to grab: socially distant running awards, 4 year running awards, sub club awards and a delicious cookie for all!
Drive by East, we’ll be stationed in front of the “E” and we’ll hand out these items.
We’ll be there from 1pm to 2:30, Saturday 11/7.  See you there!
If unable to come by, we’ll work on having these items to you via running club or track practice.
