Membership in the
Somerville Striders Athletic Club is for life..we hit you up once and then that is it-this
saves us on
having (1) less director which usually would be called the Membership Director
and instead what we expect from
you is to purchase a SSAC Licensed piece of merchandise
and hopefully from time to time as the styles change or
you "wear out" what you
purchased - you will purchase something new:>)

We are an easy club to be a part of..however there are (10) caveats:
1. Getting better
as a runner is up to you--
NO COACH'S or wannabee COACH'S allowed:>)
2. You will get out of it as much as you put in
3.If you need to see all your results posted on this website--FORGET IT!!
4. A sense of humor is a must, if you're a little stiff--
we can ease you up a bit but only a
bit:>)
5. If you require structure, meetings, elections, a voice--see one of the MANY CLUBS
available for this, we are pretty much off the wall, unstructured, (1) voice, a dog and
a partridge in a pear tree.
6. If you like to run and then chat about President Bush, the Boston Red Sox
(we believe the "Yankees Suck" on our
side of town),
Harry Truman or who really shot J.R.--your greatly welcomed, if you
enjoy non-stop
chatter about your splits then see #5:>)
7. We respect the sport, work hard at the events we host and direct but in the
end we realize that this is all supposed to be fun, healthy & relaxing and if you
feel different then see #5:>)
8. We support many needy organizations as well as have many needy organizations
support us !! If an organization allows us the use of their property--we give back and
that sometimes means reaching into one's pocket--if this is a chore for you, then see
#5>)
