Tim Butler Wins National Volunteer of the Year Award

Tim Butler receives National Volunteer of the Year Award

SRRC’s very own Tim Butler received the 2007 Rod Steele Outstanding Volunteer Award at the National RRCA convention in Cincinnati on May 6. This award is given nationally to a representative of a member club who has given more than anyone else to promote running through their time, talents and ideas.

Most club members know who Tim is and many know of the good things he has done to promote our sport and our community but far fewer realize the full range of things he has done for us. Tim is always quick to say that he is just one member of a great community that has made thing happen.  He would have us think what he has done is no big deal. We hope you agree that the multiple ideas he has pushed forward are well worthy of this high recognition.
