Pine Belt Pacer News 
E-Newsletter - September 17, 2007
 
WDAM to do feature on the Pine Belt Pacers
 
On Tuesday, September 18, WDAM will be at the Gateway to do a story on the Pine Belt Pacers.  We are inviting all members to come out and show support for the club.  In conjunction, we will hold an encore of the 2 mile predicted time run.  We will meet at 5:30 and begin the run shortly after.  No covered dish will be required, but we will supply some water for everyone.  This is a great opportunity for our club to gain some much deserved recognition in the community.  We have a lot to be proud of, and we want the Pine Belt to take notice!  
 
Did you know?  
    * Scholarship endowment for cross country and track athletes at Southern Miss with a balance of $3900 in less than 2 years.  
    * Over $10,000 donated to charities, with about $5,000 to MDA.  
    * Participation in the Get Healthy Hattiesburg campaign
    * Implementation of kids running program - ie. Kids Trek the Trace, Bop's Quarter Mile at the Pine Belt Pacer Relays  
 
The Pine Belt Pacers motto "Run! For You Life" has become more than just a motto for our club.  With over 200 members, the club is lending a hand to the entire community.  I mentioned our scholarship endowment at the college level, but we also have members working at the high school level.  Robin Ryder is the cross country coach at Oak Grove High and Chip Green at PCS.  Several of our members have worked to involve our community children by implementing a kids running program, starting at Tuesday Track and then the Trek the Trace series.  At each race, we continue that work by having a kids mile fun run.  
 
Did you know our club has also been active with the Longleaf Trace?  Our annual Steam Whistle 12K, directed by Tony Mozingo, donates all proceeds to the outdoor classroom and other needs for the Trace.  The Pine Belt Pacers are also members of Friends of the Longleaf Trace and have shown consistent support of this project over the years, including assistance with clean-up after Katrina.  
 
These are just a few of the things your running club has been up to in the last few years.  Our hope is that more of you will join in and become involved in these projects and any others we have going on.  We have grown very quickly in the last 3 years, and as we grow, we need more help from our members.  
 
Join us tomorrow evening at The Gateway at the Longleaf Trace and help us showcase the Pine Belt Pacers.  This is our time to shine and show the Pine Belt, who is already taking notice of us, what a great running community we have!  As you can see, we have a lot to be proud of!  

Run!  For Your Life.
Dawn
