 Welcome to Mike Leary. Also greet LoriAnn Wukitsch, Managing Director of Historic Bethlehem Partnership, a non-profit organization that's mission preserves 19 historic structures in Bethlehem including two national historic landmarks, Burnside Plantation, and over 40,000 artifacts. We welcome any of the members of the club to visit and learn more about this wonderful history in our community. Photo opportunities abound.

Old Shoes
Wondering what to do with your somewhat worn and not too smelly running shoes? This from Kevin Kane, husband of Bux-Mont runner Ilene Kane, "I won't take but 1 minute of your time. Let me introduce myself, my name is Kevin Kane. I am a local Bucks County business owner. I happen to be married to a 5K, 10k, 1/2 marathon and 6 time marathon runner. In my wife Ilene's training, I have become aware of how many perfectly good pairs of shoes she goes through. As you know, the shoes are beyond race condition but are in perfect condition for average use. So I have decided to do something about it....I have decided to transform one of our company's box trucks into a "RE-USE YOUR SHOES" drop-off vehicle. The Program is called "Run the World" in hopes that eventually we will expand the shoe donation to other areas outside of Bucks County. As of now I have made arrangements to donate all gently worn shoes to the Red Cross and/or Soles4Soul. Any shoes deemed "beyond use condition" will be forwarded to Nike for their shredding program which goes to used for playground base. I am only asking you to send along word to your email list of runners telling them to bring their old shoes to the race for drop off/donation. Please let me know any thoughts or feedback. See below for more details. PS. 9/19/10 we conducted our first race collection, right in Warminster, carolforheart.org, with only 30 registered runners, we collected 50 pairs of shoes. Also, we have been approved to place drop boxes in all YMCA's as well as all Bucks County's Sports Authority location. Thank You Kevin Kane Director ReUse Your Shoes.

Winter Stuff
Ken and Joanna Mark are California bound and cleaning out closets. "I still have quite a nice selection of cold weather running clothes for sale, so could you post this to the list? They are all very good quality, all gently used in excellent condition. Size small. Tights, warm-up pants, tops, etc." Joanna Mark (kjmark5953@hotmail.com

 Race Results
I apologize to those of you who ran the Philly Half but this time there was no way to sort results by town or any other criteria. In lieu of scrolling through 15,000+ names or searching on our 275 members, I'll depend on you to send me your results. Partial results included. Confirmation that you ran is sufficient. And congratulations to Jack Heely for running his 49th marathon in Upstate NY. That's Yonkers, which is "upstate" to those of us born and bred in Queens.
