This year, Sac Tri Club is combining the Season Kick-Off and the Jersey Pickup into one big party! The Season Kickoff and Jersey Party will be a great chance to hang out with your fellow triathletes and talk about what races are on your agenda for the year.

We will have delicious food, catered by club sponsor Tazzina Bistro. Our own Rebecca Reichardt owns and operates this great Bistro in Woodland, CA.

Of course, our premier sponsor, Fleet Feet Sacramento, will have great discounts and lots of new items to consider as you enjoy the evening with all of your STC friends. Fleet Feet also has lots of ways for you to improve your racing skills with the latest training and gear.

We will be distributing the 2011 Voler order at the party. If you haven’t seen the new STC jersey, you can check out the design on our Facebook page or the STC website. The STC board listened to your comments and suggestions and has incorporated the new logo into the 2011 design.

Party is free for 2011 members, $10 guest fee.

A limited selection of retro and 2010 jerseys will be available for purchase at the party as well.

The new club logo is now available on casual apparel through our Cafe Press store. We have short sleeve t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts, sweatshirts, and more. There are several color and style options to choose from. Get your club gear today!

Ordering for the all New STC Apparel is available online through Voler! Order deadline has been extended to January 31st (for end of March delivery).

Details on ordering can be found in the Members area.

The Ironman World Championship Viewing Party will be held on Saturday, 12/18, from 2 to 5 p.m. @ Tazzina Bistro in Woodland.

We hope this earlier start will allow more members to attend & still make it to their evening Holiday parties! Sorry for any inconvenience.

Members are welcome to come earlier & stay later, but the event will be aired during these hours.

In addition, STC Member Rebecca Reichardt, proprietor of Tazzina Bistro, has offered the following Happy Hour specials for our party:

• Buy one, get one free appetizers
• $4 drafts, $5 premium well drinks, $2 off wines by the glass & $1 off bottled beers

Other details:

There is a parking lot behind the restaurant and access through the patio or hallway into the building.

Calling all STC Members!

Yes, it’s that time already…the Tri season is winding down with a great showing at TBF’s Golden Gate Tri this morning. We are working hard on an updated logo design for 2011, a new apparel order, & our best Year End Party ever at Hot Italian. We are also gearing up for STC’s Annual Board Member Elections.

I am proud to serve with your current Board of Directors, & happy to announce that all would like to continue at their posts into 2011. As many of you already know, serving on Board is a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. These are unpaid positions, & each Board Member is required to attend monthly meetings (2 hours), as well as volunteer to run the STC Booth at 2 local races, among other responsibilities.

This year we were very fortunate, & had a full Board (6 Members), all of whom have worked hard all year to make STC even better.

Your current 2010 Board Members are:

• President/Chair: Kathryn “KC” Caucci
• Secretary: Sarah Kimball
• Treasurer: Michelle Raynaud
• Sponsorship Director: Mike Gates
• Membership Director: Scott Thompson (appointed for Darren Cain, who has moved out of State)
• Newsletter Director: Stephanie Denison

Non-Board Positions (those who donate their time & expertise to STC without a Board post):

• Webmaster: Ron Salvatori
• Legal Counsel: Denise Detrano

If you would like to nominate someone (or yourself) to run for a Board position in addition to the above candidates, please email nominations to president@sactriclub.com by the deadline of October 17, 2010.

After the October 17 deadline, we will be sending an online ballot through Ballotbin to each current STC. Please look for your online ballots after 10/17.

The 2011 Board Members will be installed at STCs Year End Party, Wednesday, November 3 at Hot Italian downtown.

We will have plenty of fun, food, and beverages–not to mention giveaways from our great sponsors. Check the STC Newsleter this month and the Evite to be sent later this month for more details about STCs Year End Party!

Please contact KC at president@sactriclub.com if you would like to make a nomination or need additional information.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone on November 3 at the party, & to a great 2011 season. Thank you for supporting STC!

KC & your STC Board of Directors

PS – If you received an email from Ballotbin earlier this week thanking you for your vote, please disregard. We believe this was in error, & we apologize for any inconvenience.

STC member Sheila Leard is in our thoughts as she recovers from injuries sustained in a bike accident last week while training for Ironman Arizona. We are happy to report that she is home from the hospital and well on the road to recovery.

STC is pleased to announce our most recent sponsors to the club.

Molecular Fitness is a Sports and Nutrition Supplement company. They have a complete line of products that help to promote health at the molecular level by enhancing cellular connection and communication. The product that we are promoting for them is the SportConnexin electrolyte supplement. Every triathlete knows how important electrolytes are for performance. When you are lacking electrolytes during a race, you will suffer cramps, fatigue, and other problems. SportConnexin replaces essential minerals and also helps to maintain proper pH in the muscle to neutralize metabolic acids. You will perform better during your race and feel better after your race when using SportConnexin.
