If Kelsey is our soul, Donna Checkan is our conscience. Donna will not let us forget where we have been and how we should be today. I am grateful for that. Despite a busy schedule. Donna has reached out to the women in the club to make them feel welcome and heard, in our male-dominant group. I have to write about Dan Armstrong and Ted Paszek at the same time because the three of us have truly functioned as a team. Ted reorganized the breakfast set-up and Dan has made sure that there are volunteers each Saturday morning. If no one signed up, they did the work. For every meeting, party, barbeque, pot-luck, or movie night that I had at my home, they were there to help me with set-up and clea.n-up. We've spent hours together buym.g breakfast and party supplies, planmng events, talking about the club and how to make it better. I simply could not have done this job without their help and support. We are lucky indeed to have such wonderful people working on our behalf to make sure that we have the best club possible. Thank you Sean, Dave, Kelsey, Donna, Dan and Ted for such fine work. This is my 22nd letter to you as president of this wonderful club. With only three months left in my term, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you what a great board you have had this year. Sean Butler likes to tell the story that we arrived at Front Runners on the same Saturday back in the summer of 1998. We have been friends since that day. In that time I have been privileged to watch Sean grow as a runner and as a human being. in instrumental been has Sean spearheading our volunteer effort with NYRR and their racing program. He has al~o helped to re-energize our interaction With . our Front Runner neighbors in Washmgton DC, Philadelphia, and Boston by making sure we are represented at their events. Sean has also been important in the success of our running program this year. Dave Caraway has been a whirlwind of activity on behalf of the club. Dave, along. with Bill Walsh, has completely re-acttvated our website, making sure that our club is up-to-date with information via the calendar. Dave has also been instrumental in the development and success of our running program. His enthusiasm, devotion and love for this club are very great. Kelsey Louie is the soul of FRNY. One of our best runners and best human beings, Kelsey strives to make sure that all of the membership feels welcome supported and represented. Fairness is ~ key word in Kelsey's vocabulary. To watch Kelsey run is to watch perfection in form and grace. Without Kelsey and a IProotreader .. ..... .......

(con 't p5) �Page4 April2003 Front Runners If you thought that the February weather in New York was a tad chilly, consider the plight of our sister club up in Toronto. This winter they reported a record low temperature of minus 37C (that's -34.6F by my calculation). "It was brutally cold weather for running" they said in what must be some sort of record of understatement. In spite of the weather the club is quite active. A new President, Joseph Van Veen was elected, a new club logo has been designed and plans are afoot to once again hold a Pride and Remember Run in the late Spring. Orlando Front Runners have a newlook Newsletter and website (www.orlandofrontrunners.org) that lists the club's multiple activities. In March they organized a Cedar Key Escape of sleeping, swimming, walking, biking, napping, eating, sitting, rocking, playing board games, resting, shopping and reading. Another listed activity was "watching the plane land at the airport". As you may have gathered Cedar Key is one sleepy Florida town. In February, the club participated in the Orlando Aids Benefit Walk that raised close to $35,000. In April the club will celebrate its lOth Anniversary with what they say will be a six-monthlong party. If you are headed down to Orlando be advised that the club has a temporary new meeting point due to renovations at the Red Pagoda, · the old gathering spot. The new spot is on the pier on the north side of Lake Eola Park at Robinson Street near Reeves House. The LA Marathon XVIII was held on March 2 and many LA Frontrunners participated both in the race and at the LAFR water station at Mile 11. There was also a pre-race Pasta Feed and their traditional Post Race Brunch that is a fun event for all the runners and the volunteers. Another recent highlight was a trip to Catalina Island for 5K and 1OK runs and the Catalina Marathon. The island is popular with the club members. The annual Catalina Island camping trip will be held the weekend of September 5. The new President of San Francisco Front Runners is Michael Tomas. He has had a long association with Frontrunners and has been a member of the Chicago, Denver (founder in 1986) and Los Angeles Clubs. He has been a member of the San Francisco club for two and a half years and an active runner for 23 years. At least half a dozen LAFRs have qualified for the Boston Marathon and will make the trip across the country for the start of the April 21 race. If you are looking for a new Marathon to run, Baylands reports that the Big Sur International Marathon will be held April 27. However, they warn that while this is a beautiful course there are lots of hills. Incidentally, Baylands' new President is Peter Sass. Sydney Frontrunners can now be found at www.sydneyfrontrunners.org. Club members are currently heavily involved in a training program for the Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon which is one of the most popular races "down under". lt will be held Sunday, May 25. The club membership stands at around 150 and participation in the club's events has increased considerably since the Gay Games. This club will also have a new President who will be elected at the AGM on May 10. Most of us know that Sydney's Gay Games VI was a smashing success from the participants point of view. Generally speaking over 12,000 athletes went home happy. However, from a fmancial point of view the picture is far less rosy. While the final figures are not yet in it appears that there will be a loss of more than $1 ,500,000 (AUD). An unfortunate coda to a great event! Happy running everyone, 25TH ANNIVERSARY NEWS At the March Board Meeting, we announced and briefly outlined two of the major focal points for our year-long observance of our 25th Anniversary. The first is a major fundraising campaign that will end in December 2004 to raise $25,000 for FRNY and our Charitable Foundation. We will be soliciting corporate donations as well as individual gifts, with more details to follow. The second component is an exciting one, because we are going to produce a multi-media CD covering our 25 years as the premier gay and lesbian sports club in New York City. The CD will be distributed to the membership as well as the participants in the 2004 Gay Pride Race. For this we're going to need your help: we need pictures from past years and members willing to share their stories about being a Front Runner. We have a lot of lead time to work on this, but asking for help is never too early. So those of you out there who'd like to lend a hand for whatever your individual talent is, step up and be counted. With a little help from each of us the job will be that much easier. rutP~ek ' �I New York (con't from page 3) April 19, High Mountain: Explore undiscovered High Mountain Wilderness Preserve with Outbike New Jersey's OffRoad division. 10 a.m. start, about 10 mi., 3-plus hours.

March was a great month for the club-so many members participating in the NYRR events. We are going to have to start lobbying for more space in the newsletter. A couple of admin issues first: if you are co~petin~ in any of~he NYRR events, make It a pomt of checkmg your result on line postrace. Check NYRRC.org under race results to see if they have recorded ~o~r resul~ co.rrectly. Ifnot, you can correct It VI~ email. direct to NYRRC, and cc DJ or Patnck (jdaw~on@westpac.com.au or pthomas@workmgtoday.org) to make sure the club has ~our correct result. There have been a .few mstances where NYRRC has not registered the FRNY notation, or net time, so this will obviously effect the club's tally as well. I know my girlfriend has a sudden bout of Turrett's should her scores not be accurately tabled. I would advise s~lf~checking the NYRRC website to avoid Similar outbreaks all throughout FRNY. :) Points races for April Women's NYRR 8000 ( 8K) and Men's.NYRR 8000 (8K) on Saturday AprilSth. Thomas Labrecque Classic Four miles, Sunday April 27 for men and women Don't forget Women's Run Day on AprilS. This coincides with the friendly 8K so see you there! Happy running Out of Bounds Mike Orzechowski recently met with Out of Bounds, the new non-profit organization that serves the sports and recreation organizations and interests of the LGBT community in the greater New York City area. Just over a year ago, they realized that there was no organization to serve the basic needs of the sports and recreation organizations in the area. Most of the organizations were relatively isolated within their own membership and unaware of, or indifferent to, the other groups and their activities. Out of Bounds will serve as a clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of information about the activities of all the sports and recreation groups. Now under construction www.outofboundsnyc.com will feature monthly calendar, similar to the Front Runners calendar, with daily activities for all the sports and recreation organizations with links for complete information. They hope that, with this information available, organizations can avoid scheduling events/ activities such as fund-raisers and major tournaments that conflict with those of fellow groups. They also hope that it will result in more cross-sport participation, whether as active participants, volunteers, or just as fans cheering from the sidelines. An informal survey found that the vast majority of the participants fall within the 25 to 35 year old age range. Out of Bounds plans to address this imbalance by conducting outreach programs aimed at increasing the number of 18 to 25 year olds and 40+ year olds in all sports. They will work with the organizations to assure that each one offers a friendly, welcoming environment for those who want to compete as well as for those whose interests are more recreational. They are already serving the sports and recreation groups by getting word out about their events, their need for volunteers, by helping new groups get started, and .by putting individuals who want to participate in sports in touch with the organizations that match their interests. If you have any questions or would like to help out, please feel free to contact Will Smithers, president of Out Of Bounds NYC: wsmathers@nyc.rr.com. ~ w-r,tt~ �Page 6 SNOWFLAKE 4-MILER Central Park, New York February 22, 2003 Kelsey Louie ................................... 23: 16 Sean Butler .................. .................... 25 :54 Michael Benjamin .......... ...... ........... 26:14 Dave Caraway .... .. .................. ......... 27: I 0 Jeff Werner ........ .. .......................... . 27:51 Dan Gallagher ............ .... .... ............. 29:45 Geoff Perry ..................................... 29:45 Marty McElhiney ................ ............ 30: II Stephen VanDyk ........ .... ... ...... ...... . 30:49 Stuart Yothers .......... .. .'................. .. . 3I : II Rob Hoerburger ........... .. ................. 31 : 17 Michael Samuelian .......................... 31 :56 Kevin Dehan .............. ........ ............. 31:58 Glenn Nobel... ...... ................ ........... 32:45 Nick Sterlington .... ......... .. ............... 33 : I 0 Bradley Gretter .... ........ ....... ............ 33:26 Lawrence Wilkes ........ .................... 33 :41 Gary Apruzzese .......... .. ................... 33:55 Debra Chapnick .. .......................... .. 34:05 Heidi Griffiths ..... .... .. ... ................... 34:17 Maryann Piamonte ................ .......... 34:17 Nelson Benavides .......... .. ................ 34:50 Phil Wahba .. .............. .... .. ................ 34:50 Michael Beltran .......... .... ........ ...... ... 34:50 Mark Schaffer ................ ....... .. ........ 35:22 Arthur McCune ........... .. ..... ............. 36:00 Jerry Levine .................................... 36:08 Barbara Krajewski ..... .... ................. 36:13 Dan Armstrong .... ........................... 37:04 Joanne Dondero ........... .. ........ .. ....... 37:24 Elizabeth Murphy .... .. .. .. ................. 38:36 Christine Fisher ............................... 38:36 Mike Mahon .... ...... ............. ............. 39: II Deidre Cuffee-Gray .. .... ..... ............. 4 I :49 Chris Herlinger ...... ......................... 55: 16 MURRAY TODD HALF Lincroft, New Jersey March 1, 2003 Ken Chamberlain .........................

To express your own viewpoint, contact any Board member or the appropriate representative from Fast and Fabulous. I would also like to congratulate once again our honorees for 2002.

The first Points Race of2003, for men and women, is the Snowflake 4-miler. Race Captain, Patrick Thomas is working with a group of Front Runners to ensure that we field teams for these races.

FRNY will be in tier B giving us an opportunity to fmish at or near the top of our tier. The 22nd is a busy day for the club. That evening, Fast and Fabulous will hold it's annual Pot Luck at the LIG/B/T Center. The NYRRC Club Banquet is also being held that night.

Mailing Donn Peppler George Schlein John Whooley Board Meeting Minutes: January 13th, 2003 Our first meeting of the year brought together a large group of members to voice their opinion on the future of Fast & Fab in our club. There was much discussion on both sides of the issue and it was apparent that further discussion and information was needed. So Michael 0 has appointed a committee composed of board members and representatives from Fast & Fab and the Tritons, to explore this issue further. Their first gettogether will be Monday, January 27th and it's hoped that the issues will be further defmed in the best interests of all. More about the general discussion can be found in the full board minutes. We'll keep you all up to date on how things are progressing. Dave Caraway has been tirelessly working on FRNY's new website calendar. It is now up and running at www.frontrunnersnewyork.org. Check there for the latest in what's happening at FRNY both on and off the running course. We need a housing coordinator to help with out-of-town visitors coming to New York racing events. Please see one of the board members if you're interested. Our race captain Patrick Thomas encourages everyone to come out for the February 9th NYRRC Two-some race. All running levels are welcome! Michael Westwood, our Pride Director, has established a timetable leading up to June's event. While we still have five months to go, there is a lot of planning and work to do, so if you can help out in any way with publicity ideas or possible sponsorship prospects, please let us know.

The Frostbite 10-miler did some biting, but that was not enough to stifle Front Runner diehards. They still had to get out there and have a go. It was a women's run. That, and the fact that running in 10degree weather is a challenge that not every runner can attest to, brought out a great number of our club. Check out the crazies on the Finish Line page!

Isn't that the reason why we all run these races?! A strange. thing happened in the ladies room at Front Runners on January 19: a crowd! Yes, there was a crowd! This occurrence-Women's Day-is set to become a regular event. It is the first Saturday of every month, so come and see if we can set a new record in the women's changing room on Feb I. This is also the same day as the AI Gordon 15K, so all you Distance Diva's can come on in and do your stuffl A special welcome to our new race captain, Patrick Thomas. Yes, this is my forth men's partner is as many years! It would appear I have become the Race Captain Hot So have a great month out there! The new year has begun, so set your sights high and dream sweet! The Urban Warrior Yes, we know how cold it is outside and how the wintry winds play havoc with our skin. But that's no reason not to run outdoors, even in the harshest of weather. I found a great product last year put out by Kiehl's called All-Sport Non-Freeze Face Protector. This stuff really works on your skin to protect it from the wind and extreme cold. It's water resistant and kind of like a wax-based product that isn't greasy at all. It's not cheap at about $15, but a tin of it should last you the whole winter season and then some. And it's also SPF30 so you won't have to worry about the dermatologist either. Give it a try because it's a whole lot better than the oldfashioned standby of Vaseline.

Dave and I will be two of FRNY's Social Coordinators (the traffic controllers) this year. While the core of the club for 2003 is seeking to focus a bit more on our running roots - both competitively and recreationally, the two of us will be helping to take the club back to the social part of our mission. We'll be helping to facilitate social events so our members can come together and have the opportunity to get to know each other better so we can build a stronger club. We hope these social gatherings will help us all celebrate our diversity as runners, cyclists and triathletes who come together under the Front Runners banner. Look for a couple of new twists to the social mix in 2003. We hope to have an array of 1) Planned Events where everyone attending will need to plan ahead and purchase tickets in advance such as a group outing to a NYC Gay Men's Chorus performance, or the Milrose Games that held at Madison Square Garden and 2) "Come As You Are" (less planned) Events that will be posted on the FRNY website calendar and then just show up if you're interested. We'll be asking members to start checking the FRNY website and its calendar on a more frequent basis so you can see the latest social event postings. Moreover, Dave and I invite all of you to bring us your ideas for social events so we can help get them on the FRNY calendar and to encourage you to move ahead and "produce" your events. So, we invite you to give us a call.
