Boston's Run to Remember

On Sunday, May 24, we continued our collaboration with Boston's Run to Remember Half Marathon! For the past 4 years, RBC members have volunteered to operate the 5 and 7 mile water stops for this race. The course has a "stake turn" so we have tables set up on either side of Memorial Dr to provide water and gatorade for those going out and back. At this point, we are a well oiled machine from mixing gatorade, stacking rows and rows of cups, mastering the proper hand off technique, and leaving the street garbage free once the race wraps up. Although it was cold and rainy this year, moral was high as we cheered on those running!

prevent local water fowl from besmirching docks up and down the Charles River with
sticky green feces. So retired engineer Andy Roy came up with a low-cost artificial intelligence system to
