Guidance for Post-Run Breakfast Hosts
and Other Users of Reston Runners Coffee Pots
Some of the club's biggest social events are the post-run breakfasts. Many generous people offer up their homes and efforts to host potlucks or full breakfasts. The board has decided to set up a Breakfast Committee, headed up by Cathy Dutchak, to coordinate these events. If you are interested in hosting a post-run potluck, please refer to Steps to Running a Post-Run Potluck (below) for more information. If you are interested in being part of this committee, please contact Cathy Dutchak at breakfasts@restonrunners.org .
Steps to Hosting a Post-Run Potluck
- If you are interested in hosting a potluck after a run, please contact Cathy Dutchak at breakfasts@restonrunners.org or call 703-620-3453. We try to schedule potlucks so that the location is in some proximity to the run. You can look at the schedule and pick a date when a run is scheduled near your home, and contact Cathy with the offer. We will try our best to meet your request. Or you may call and offer up a date in the future (sometime after the posted run schedule), and we can schedule a run near your home. We will work to accommodate your kind offer!
- The club has two 60-cup coffeepots that are housed at Joe & Marcia Stowers' home. One of the pots should be for regular coffee, the other for decaf. If you are scheduled to host a potluck, please contact Joe or Marcia early in the week to coordinate a time to pick up the pots. Or, you can try contacting the most recent coffee-pot user with the help of the list of phone contacts below.

- The host/hostess generally supplies the coffee (about 2 lbs. total), juice and paper goods. The club has a stash of accouterments: sugar, Equal or other fake sweetener, creamer, and some paper goods which will be offered to the host in addition to the pots.
- After the potluck, please completely clean both coffeepots and contact Joe or Marcia to coordinate a time to return these. This should be early during the week following the potluck, so that they can be passed on to the next host/hostess. If hosts supply Cathy with their e-mails or phone numbers, she can facilitate communications between both parties and a direct transfer can be made.
