Fun Run Walk Thank You

Fun and Sun were in the air as we began the race with  262   participants at 3.00 pm on Sunday the 18th of September.  You never know what the weather is going to be when one plans well in advance, but we were blessed. We need to thank the Lord for blessing us with a perfect day.

Hats Off to the Organizers of the 11th Annual Fun Run/Walk and Spaghetti Dinner, Bonnie Danic and Jim Soter along with their spouses John and Patty have been organizing this Fun Run for the past 11 years and we had 11 consecutive years of great attendance and participation. I could see the joy in every one from the littlest to the young at heart,  be it runners, walkers, course marshals, those who prepared and served the meals – and even those who just came to be part of the Fun by joining us for the Spaghetti Dinner, everyone  was just happy to be part of the Fun Run. It was also great to see the community coming together. The specially designed T-Shirts were very much recognized by all who drove by or passed by. Thanks to each and everyone who has been part of this great parish event.

 Without the generous contributions and co-operation of a number of organizations, neighborhood businesses and the volunteers, the Fun Run would not be possible. Thank you again to everyone who contributed to make the 2016 Fun Run such a successful evening and, of course, to all who participated in the race.
