New Members Rock!

Ready to Roll! 

We had four new members join us at the Bears Den tonight.. that's awesome!  - Truth be told, two of them officially joined Team R.E.D. at the TerraLoco Resolution Night, one joined Saturday morning during Off Season Striders, and one joined tonight!  - Sometimes it doesn't matter how you get it one, just that you get it done!

Welcome to Jill, Lance, Shannon and Kasey!

Shannon Joins Team R.E.D.! - She'll be a great new member, and she's preparing for her first half marathon!
Tom might have been tip-toeing, it's hard to say for sure. 

Jill & Lance Join Team R.E.D.!  - They are crushing it... we'll like them too!  

Kasey Joins Team R.E.D!  - but she couldn't stay for he shirt presentation. There's a story here.. see below... 

Kasey had once asked 'What does it cost to join Team R.E.D.?"  and I replied with $20.. then some time passed by and she asked again, "What does it cost to officially join Team R.E.D.?" and I replied $1000 ---   Well, after some negotiation, she got it done!  The picture doesn't do it justice, but that's $20 with a Kidney in a Specimen Bag!
