It's Race Time


SAVE THE DATE!

LOWC's annual quorum meeting is on Saturday, June 3, 2017 from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm.  This is an important meeting as we need a quorum from our active and provisional members.  We will vote in the new board, receive a Lake Run update and vote to distribute the funds to our charities. We cannot vote if we don't have a quorum so please plan to be at this important and fun meeting. Details including location to be advised soon.


Lake Run Marketing

The word's out!  Everywhere you go in Lake Oswego and beyond, the excitement is starting to build for the annual Lake Run. Posters are in downtown shop windows, flyers on pizza box tops, articles in magazines and newspapers. The big day is still a month away, but check out how we've already started to make our presence known. We still have plenty of marketing materials to be distributed in areas beyond LO. If you'd like to make a fun afternoon of it, contact Debbie Kutnyak for information on how to join a group distribution party.
