June TAT Social, and NEW TRAINING PROGRAM!THE NEXT TAT Social Event is June 30:Pizza and ice cream time! A TAT member has graciously opened his restaurant to us sweaty, hungry triathletes for our next get-together. Doug and Jennifer Mitcho own Gaetano's Pizzeria in Jenks at 121st St and Elm. Go to www.gaetanospizza.net. for info about his store and its menu. There is also a link to Google maps/directions. We will meet there at 7 pm for dinner and hanging out on TUESDAY JUNE 30. If you would like to run beforehand, his store is less than two miles from the Creek Turnpike Trails. He says it is no problem if you want to eat after running. (it's a very casual restaurant) If you'd like to run beforehand, meet at the store at say 6-ish, but plan on eating at 7 pm. Hope to see a great turnout! TAT Announces the next training Opportunity.Aiming for an Olympic-Distance Tri this season?

Membership AND Renewal Info!Early renewal option has expires, so regular dues rates are now in effect! So that means individual membership costs only $30/year, and family membership (up to four people in a household) is $40/year. I do try to send out individual reminders to people, so those who are not due to renew for quite awhile will get an email from me. Or you could say ‘what the heck, I’ll renew now!’ (grin) To sign up, even if it is a few months early for you to renew, go here. There will be NO MORE mailed-in memberships. (If you know that this is a hardship for someone, let me know. Having online membership sign-ups streamlines things tremendously for me). TAT pays all online fees. We have added some new club goodies that are included in your membership. For those of you who just joined in the past month or so I will mail those new goodies to you ASAP after I get them from the secret membership goody manufacturer. We hope you’ll take advantage of this membership incentive and will enjoy what is in store with TAT for 2009.
