The meeting was called to order at 6:08 pm at the Glendale Library.

Minutes from the January 2008 meeting and February 2008 were approved.

Brett Bernacchi gave a presentation about TGen (based in downtown Phoenix). Brett's wife, Alana
Lysholm-Bernacchi, passed away as a result of a brain tumor. Brett's wife was a researcher at TGen.
Brett wanted to talk to the board about having the club join forcs with TGen to produce a race that
would raise funds and awareness for brain tumor research. There were three venues where the event could
be held. The facility near Fountain Hills seemed the best. David was going to provide his book of
information on how he produces the Race for the Cheetah. The race will be called Alana's Champs.

Ahwatukee Foothills 5K - We will be working with David Allison to time this race. Non-chip timed because the systems are
being used at the Arizona Ironman race that same weekend.

"Mustang" Marathon - Jason Wall teaches middle school kids. They have been running miles. On April 16, the club will 
time his kids 26th mile with bibs and a finish chute. Currently, there are three races scheduled at various times of the 
day. steven will check to see if the race times can be adjusted.

Pat's Run - John Magnuson is looking for volunteers to help from the 16th to the 19th.

Run For The Cheetah - David reported that he has secured a permit for the race. (steven asked if he could do the same
for the first summer series race.) Everything seems to be going well so far.

AZ FOP 5K - This will be at Wesley Bolin Plaza. Still waiting for an insurance contact as well as word from the police
on where the course can go.
