THIS WEEK IN TRI CLUB (OCTOBER 16-22) and GATOR FITNESS CHALLENGE WEEK 2 ROLL CALL! We need your help! Over the weekend our club Officers Election Coordinator, Kerri Brannen, posted a link to the ballot for our 2024-25 officers. We have one nominee at each of our five board positions, so you might wonder why we have to have an election. Our club constitution & bylaws requires a majority positive vote for any election to be official. As youth members do not vote, we have 80 adult voting members. So we need 41 positive votes for each nominee to complete the election. If you have not yet had the opportunity to place your vote (it only takes a couple of minutes to read the nominee profiles and submit your vote), please help us out by submitting one this week so that we can announce an official election and begin the welcoming of our new board by our current board whose terms expire on December 31. Here's a link to the ballot... https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FCTNYZZ?fbclid=IwAR1BnxptXF6VBPnOFwh-rmfo5rWqH_4WyVWFk6iIpI7UhpWcGzbRMnG82Ic Our 2024-25 officer nominees are: • President: David Stone • Vice-President: Jens Sydor • Treasurer: Kristie Bruno • Youth Program Director: Cindy Kelecic • Secretary: Don Mack This serves as your weekly list of our club workouts and, for the next 26 weeks, your opportunity to post any completed Gator Fitness Challenge weekly challenges including the SBR Challenge (i.e. complete at least 30 minutes of swimming AND cycling/spinning AND running), the SCF Challenge (at least 30 minutes total of combined strength, core, and/or flexibility workouts), and the Plank Challenge (the week 2 challenge was 30 seconds; this week's challenge is 45 seconds).
