About the Event
The 2014 Annual Banquet and Membership Meeting will be held Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 6:30pm at Fetzer Center at WMU (registration and check in 6:15 – 6:30pm). The evening’s events will be presented in two parts. Part I will begin with dinner provided by Fetzer Center Catering at 6:30pm and a presentation by our special guest speaker Ed Kozloff entitled “The History of Running, Nationally and in Michigan.” Ed Kozloff has served as president of the Motor City Striders since 1975, leading the club to national recognition and promoting running in Michigan. Having directed over 1,000 races including the Motor City Marathon and the Detroit Free Press International Marathon, he may be considered the “father of modern distance running” in Michigan. Contributions to charities from the Motor Cities Striders events total over $25,000,000. Ed’s collection of running memorabilia may be unmatched. His writing and collaboration can be found in many magazines and books.
There is a charge ($20 Adult Member/$25 Adult Non-Member/$10 Children under 12) for dinner and the presentation.
Part II will begin at 7:40pm and will include our Runner Recognition Awards, Volunteer Awards, Annual Business Meeting and Election and Door Prize Drawing. Part II attendance only is FREE of charge.
