Fwd: 2018 Pittsburgh Dirty Dozen Bicycle Ride

---- Forwarded message ---------

From: Dirty Dozen

Dear riders and friends of Danny Chew:

Another year has gone by and this year's edition of the Dirty Dozen is fast approaching. You are invited to participate in the 36th annual running of the event, which will be held on Saturday, November 24th. Proceeds will benefit Danny, who is overall director of this challenging ride he co-founded. If you register by November 3rd you will receive an additional discount on your entry fee.

Here are some of the changes in this year's ride:

• New starting location. The ride now begins at the Rhododendron Shelter on Lake Drive in Highland Park. By straight-line distance this is less than half a mile to the north and west of the Bud Harris Cycling Track, and can be reached by traveling north on Stanton Avenue.

• Official-finisher ribbons will be mailed out after the event to ensure that all riders who certify their official-finisher status will receive one. Instructions for certifying official-finisher status will be included in your registration packet.

• Separate women's event. Women wanting to compete can choose to ride in either the first group, competing directly against the men in an open event, or in the second group, which is reserved for women only.

Here are the links for this year's ride:

From: Brian Schreiber, JCC President & CEO

View this email in your browser Dear JCC Members, It has been a difficult day here at the JCC. We have been serving as a crisis center for families and their friends and working with law enforcement, government, FBI and others since the morning hours. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. From a safety perspective, law enforcement met with us this evening and assured us that this active shooter event was an isolated event from an individual with no known police record and there are no known threats to any other Jewish institution.  They encourage us to resume our normal routines as quickly as possible. In Squirrel Hill, the process of notifying families and working with outside agencies is expected to continue until tomorrow. That being said, and to protect the privacy of the friends and families of victims, we will close Squirrel Hill (both buildings) for regular activities Sunday and resume our full schedule on Monday.  The South Hills branch remained open today and will be open tomorrow as normal. Needless to say the next hours and days will be challenging. We will do the best we can to be a place for the community to find comfort and support from one another. We will stay to our regular schedules as much as possible, and will ask for support and cooperation for any modifications.  We encourage you to join our community in solidarity in a community-wide vigil/prayer service tomorrow (Sunday) at 5PM at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall. We thank you for your ongoing support at this unprecedented time in our community's history. Thank you, Brian Schreiber,  President and CEO James Ruttenberg, Board Chair JCC of Greater Pittsburgh Copyright © 2018 Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh, All rights reserved. We send special offers and reminders to all JCC members Our mailing address is: Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh 5738 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15217

Fwd: ASCA Thought Of The Day: "Business Orientation"

Oh boy. I've got more to say on this in due time. 

---------- Forwarded message ---------

By Coach John Leonard

"Business Orientation" "Just about every coach over the age of 40 that I have spoken with in 50 years in this sport have said some version of 'IF I could start over, I'd have taken better care of the business side of my swimming team.' I think it's 'natural.' We start out in coaching to help children. We want to walk on deck, wear what we want, do what we want, run swim practices and teach some skills to our younger 'selves.' After about ten years of that, we may have a family. Suddenly the priorities change. Getting paid, paying the rent and the electric bill and the car payment and insurances of 10 different kinds, all become priorities. And suddenly, we realize that BUSINESS and MONEY is important in allowing us to do what we WANT to do. The smartest among us seem to take a much shorter route to that decision. And the smartest among them realize that EVERY person NEEDS to learn to swim, while only a small fraction WANT to become competitive swimmers. And there is our business opening. Running swimming lessons for the widest possible audience is a far superior business model than a swim team. The Lessons support the swim team and make your FINANCIALLY VIABLE as an individual or an organization. It would be very advantageous if coaches could learn that EARLY in their career." --John Leonard ASCA Executive Director

Fwd: Gubernatorial Debate

---------- Forwarded message ---------
From: KenK4Pa <Campaign@kenk4pa.com>

Televised Gubernatorial Debate Hosted by The League of Women Voters

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 21, 2018 For more information, please contact Ken Krawchuk at Campaign@KenK4Pa.com or 224-Krawchuk (224-572-9248)     LIBERTARIAN GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE KEN KRAWCHUK ACCEPTS INVITATION TO LWV DEBATE   ABINGTON, PA – Ken Krawchuk, the Libertarian Party candidate for Pennsylvania Governor, has accepted the invitation of the League of Women Voters to participate in their hour-long televised gubernatorial debate being held at 7 PM on Wednesday, October 24, at the North Penn VFW, 2519 Jenkintown Rd, Glenside, PA 19038.  The event will be hosted by Ms. Susan Carty, the President of the Chester County Pennsylvania League of Women Voters.  The debate is to be broadcast by the Pennsylvania Cable Network, and moderated by Francine Schertzer, Vice President of Programming at PCN. This event is open to the public and media.   "I'm very grateful that the League of Women Voters has stepped forward to sponsor this forum," said Krawchuk, "Especially since the Libertarian statewide candidates have been shut out of every debate to date.  Thanks must also go to PCN for their willingness to participate.  Their 3.5 million subscribers will finally have the chance to hear the Libertarian message of lower taxes and more liberty.   "One thing that really surprises me is that Mr. Wagner and Mr. Wolf have not yet accepted the League's invitation," confided Krawchuk.  "I even sent both of them a personal letter encouraging them to participate, but neither one has replied.  Mr. Wagner's silence is particularly surprising, as he has constantly been calling for debates to be held.  Well, here's his chance to live up to his word.  Me, I'm hoping they both show.  Pennsylvania deserve hear side-by-side our visions for a better Pennsylvania."   Krawchuk, 65, is an Information Technology entrepreneur from Abington, Pa.  He has appeared on the gubernatorial ballot twice before, facing Democrat Ed Rendell in 2002 and Republican Tom Ridge in 1998.  Because of Pennsylvania's onerous ballot access laws, Krawchuk is the first third party or independent gubernatorial candidate to appear on the Pennsylvania ballot since 2002.  His return to politics comes on the heels of his federal court victory in 2016 that ruled unconstitutional the $80,000+ fines that have been levied against statewide candidates who were unsuccessful in their attempt to appear on the November ballot.   Founded in 1971, the Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the state and the nation, with over 170 elected and appointed officials currently serving in office nationwide, and 40 in Pennsylvania.  Libertarians are fiscally conservative and socially liberal, and like the Founding Fathers, Libertarians believe that you have the inalienable right to conduct your life as you see fit, without interference, so long as you respect the rights and property of others.   For more information about the Libertarian Party, the public is invited to contact the Krawchuk campaign at www.KenK4Pa.com, Campaign@KenK4Pa.com, or (224) Krawchuk (224-572-9248), the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania at www.LpPa.org or (800) R-RIGHTS, or the National Libertarian Party at www.Lp.org or (202) 333-0008.    Krawchuk appears weekly on a livestream at 8 PM every Wednesday night that is simulcasted to Facebook (https://facebook.com/KenK4Pa) and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/KenKrawchuk).   ### Copyright © 2018 Libertarian for Pennsylvania Governor, All rights reserved.
