Notes From the President....
Happy June to all. This Chatter is full of information, photos and reviews of activities and enhancements taking place within SWC. Bill and I were in attendance at the Spring Work Weekend at the Clubhouse and truly enjoyed meeting some members for the first time and, of course, working with old friends, as well. I sound like a broken record, but can’t adequately express my appreciation for the effort put forth by so many individuals in support of SWC.
I like to keep active, and benefit from having a goal to keep myself off the couch. Running has never been my thing, but I can walk very long distances, even out walking our dog. To be fair, he’s aging and recently had surgery. To make it fun I have participated, in recent years, in 5K’s held near our home which always have a fund raising purpose. Last week, as I was nearing the end of the Sloughter 5K our 8 year old grandson, who had completed his run, returned to me with encouragement to run the final distance. My time was not spectacular, but it was pretty great to have him running beside me. And it was for a good cause. Two of our grandchildren will be running, and I’ll be walking, in the 5K to benefit STRIDE June 12 at Jennings Landing in Albany. This is another personal motivator and a great way for SWC to support STRIDE. Added bonus…..there are snacks at the end.
