SAR members who would like to focus on certain issues may form Focused Interest Groups. FIG members do research, discuss issues and advise the Board, but do not vote. This is a promoter-based telemarketing fundraiser which begins in March and lasts several months. A competition for Ultra Runners and for walkers. The race attracts several hundred participants each year.
Local volunteers manage and staff every aspect of the race.
These go toward hall upkeep. Donations from people whom SAR has helped. Volunteers appreciate these gifts far beyond their mere dollar value. Examples are radios, GPS units, and even vehicles. Volunteers write, edit, lay out, and distribute approximately 200 copies every month.
