Shelter Shuffle Results
The Shelter Shuffle 5K had 19 participants, while the total
registration for the event including the walk was 44, according to
event organizer Camille Scielzi. The overall male finisher was Jim
Hannan, and the overall female finisher was Jan Thomas. Barett
Friesen won the prize for first finisher with a dog.
Thanks to all the volunteers, both those from SSR and those from
APAS who helped to make this a good, fun event. We helped APAS
raise a little money, helped raise community awareness of what
APAS does, and at least one dog was adopted from the lot of dogs
brought to Clarke Field from the shelter. Good job!

Mountain Bike Picture Rally On May 3
Robert Abernathy is planning
a fun, family-oriented, event for May 3rd, a "Mountain
Bike Picture Rally." The picture rally concept is based on the same
sort of event for car or motorcycle clubs, where you're given a set
of numbered photos, and you attempt to visit each place where a
photo was taken. In our case, each photo may contain a different
view of M Mountain, and you'll be following trails and streets in
the Socorro area, until you arrive at the party at the end. More
details on what to bring and where to meet will be coming on this
web site.

NM Highway Department Representative To Speak
Mr. Greg White, the New Mexico State Highway And Transportation
Department representative on the state's Bicycle, Pedestrian, and
Equestrian committee, is coming to Socorro and talk to SSR about
cycling issues for the SSR meeting on May 6th. This is a
good opportunity for you to make your voice heard about highway
issue, bicycle commuting, or anything else you'd like to happen
within the highway department.

Take The Relay For Life Survey
Our discussion of Relay For Life fundraisers at the March
meeting led to a suggestion that SSR resolve to donate a
fixed percentage of event proceeds to the Relay
cause. We'd like to know what you think: please fill out
this survey form.
For those who don't already know, the Relay For Life is an American
Cancer Society fundraising event for the whole community. The
participants are organized into teams, such as the team SSR has
with Trex Enterprises. Most money is raised by the teams before the
Relay, while the Relay is an 18-hour overnight event that
demonstrates the theme that "Cancer Never Sleeps."
The Relay itself will be June 13-14, 2003. For you triathletes,
that's the weekend after the Milkman Triathlon. There is a
$10 registration fee per team member, and the goal is for each team
member to raise $100. Luminarias and star/crescent moon signs are
available now; contact Fred
Yarger or Camille
Scliezi for more information.
