For the first time since the founding of the Elite Development Club Council in 2002 neither I, nor Bill Roe, nor Devon Martin will serve on that August Body. Our program, we can look back over the last decade and a half with satisfaction. Wishing the new Council members smooth sailing.
Our Nebraska Run Guru Elite Christmas Party this past Saturday. Twenty from across the state showing up for the run and short order breakfast. Celebrating where we are and what we are doing. Charting our 2017 waters. Defining the roles of our members, leadership, and sponsor.
Finings. Substances added near the end of a process to produce clarity, removal of unnecessary compounds. NRGE, LLC no longer a sponsor of NRGE, Inc. Clarity achieved. The twain will continue to work together for the Nebraska running community however.
