great post-race social event. Since we have only one Social Chair this
week, <u>please help out and bring your favorite 6-pack or bean-dip</u>....or <b><u>both</u></b>
so there will be a long night of socializing. Perhaps the team with the
best race story will be featured in an article for the next issue of

Given that Avery and I are not going to make the Top 3 this year, should
we change the trophies to the Top 5? Top 10? Post your feedback online.</span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></p></div>
