Turkey Trot 2020
I checked with the City of Spokane Parks & Recreation. They have not opened the parks to permits or reservation since COVID hit. And the City of Spokane has closed down their Special city permitting as well.
There will be no Turkey Trot 2020.
Thank you all for your input.

Bob Gariepy's funeral service
Hello Paul,
I am going to send you an invitation to my grandfather's funeral services. It will come from OneRoom. You should also have the ability to invite others using the invitation. We would appreciate if you helped us distribute the Bloomsday Road Runners that are interested.
Thank you,
Morgan

Hi, Jim—

Could you spread the word to BRRC members?:
With the 40th anniversary of professional road running coming up (1981 Cascade Run Off), a few of us have put together a virtual event that will celebrate that watershed event, offer a cool shirt with a rendition of the 1981 design, and raise money for RRCA programs that support post-collegiate distance runners. Details on the website:

Hope you’ll participate yourself, as well as spread the word. Thanks for your support!

Good afternoon.
My name is Jill Sheffels and I and sad to share the passing of my father in law Gil Sheffels.
Gil was not always a runner but once he started he didn't stop. He ran his last Bloomsday last year at the age of 89. Not quite a perennial..
Many of your older runners perhaps remember him.
There will be a service in July.
Thanks for your time,
Jill
