| CLUB APPRECIATION AWARD — GODFATHER’S PIZZA This award goes to Godfather’s pizza at Peterkort, a company who has gone out of its way to help ORRC. Once a month our Tuesday night group invades their establishment, and they not only provide us with great pizza at a great price, but they have always been generously accommodating to our requests and space requirements. |

| JOURNALISM AWARD – JAY GOLDSTEIN This award goes to someone who helps keep our ODR magazine one of the best running/walking club magazines in the US. Jay has been providing the Oregon Distance Runner Magazine with informational articles for a number of years. He has been a member of ORRC since 1989 and participates in several events each year. |
||
| KATHY WEIDKAMP VOLUNTEER AWARD – MATT PERKINS This award is named after a family-oriented volunteer who passed away several years ago. She was a huge supporter of ORRC, not necessarily as a member, but as a supporter of her family. This year the award goes to Matt Perkins. You will constantly see Matt at the expos and ORRC store helping his mother, Celia. I personally have never heard him complain about the long hours or having to get up early to help. |
||
| VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARD – DEBBIE, JASMINE, ASHLEY AND TOREN ANDERSON This award goes to a person or, in this case, a group of people who are always willing to help at races. |
||
| AL NAKATA AWARD – DAVE HARRISON This is the 2nd year for this award. Al Nakata was a long time member of ORRC who continued to run races into his 80’s. He exemplified the ultimate way to live — active, never complaining, always smiling. This award goes to someone who exemplifies the same traits as Al. Dave is a long time ORRC runner who not only runs often and runs well, but at 75 years young, has participated in 54 events in 2004. Al would be proud! |
||
| MOST INSPIRATIONAL RUNNER AWARD- CHUCK COATS This award goes to a member who inspires others by making the most of what life has to offer. Chuck was a very good high school and college runner. But, like many people, he suffered through some untimely and very tough life experiences. And after a 20-year layoff from running, he has come back with “flying” (we mean literally) “flying”, colors. His feet never seem to be on the ground. Hopefully you read about him in the November/December ODR issue. |

He participates in numerous races throughout the US, and is a judge for racing events. Many runners who have been passed by George in a race feel a bit down afterwards. but it is a compliment to George’s ability, not a put-down. They should feel good about it instead. |
