Greetings Neighbors! I don't know how many of you woke up this morning feeling that you just needed to RUN, but if you did you might have been simpatico with our 5k Run/Walk coordinator, Andy McGrail, who ran the Boston Marathon this morning!
Hard to imagine, but the 5k is a little more than month away (May 21, at 9:00 am). If you have not had a chance to send in your registration form please do so as soon as possible. We'd like all of our long-time supporters to be there. We have been fortunate to receive some great coverage from both the Granger Gazette and the South Bend Tribune but a large turnout would speak volumes to our community.
WE NEED YOU TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Speaking of making the event happen, we'd like to thank the following groups and businesses for aiding in the cause:
• Good Shepherd United Methodist Church whose congregation is opening up their bathrooms and parking lot for race participants along with volunteering race day!
• Memorial Hospital who has been supportive from the beginning
• Lake City Bank, TCU Investment Services
• Morris Animal Hospital who will be there with goodie bags for some lucky pets
• Down To Earth promoting healthy eating
• Penn HS Student Council who want to invest in their community
• Eddie's Steak Shed
• Harris Township Library who is also opening up their bathrooms and lawn for a staging area
• Elkhart Career Center who is turning out some awesome awards
• Fox Chase subdivision residents for allowing us to go through their community
And then there are the fun donations including: Granger Florist–providing a rose for women finishers; Dairy Queen Gift Certificates for the first 120 children; Nordic Track backpacks; golf for 4 from Juday Creek; and a dinner for 2 from Knollwood; Fun Tan; House of Bicycles-tune up for a bike; Pinnacle Athletic will be there to give massages, and that is just a few of our sponsors.
Check out the article in today's South Bend Tribune about the event "Trails point way to better community".
