December 11 Run

Today's Run

We had a fairly robust crowd turn out today—at least sixteen of us showing up for a run with a 64 degree temperature at the start.  Winter is nowhere to be seen so far. And we have only two runs remaining in 2011!

 

My sincere thanks to all of you who have expressed your concern and offered your support for our little grandson Charlie.  His heart surgery will not be done until a few more tests have been completed.  This could take up to a week, so we will appreciate your continuing prayers.

 

 Blanket collection Windup

Two more deliveries of blankets to the Coalition for the Homeless were made last week. That leaves only Sue Arbuckle's collection effort outstanding.  Sue is a guidance counselor at Keeth Elementary School.  She and her students will deliver the blankets and the children will be given a tour of the Men's Pavilion in mid-December.  This is a wonderful way for them to understand why the blankets are so sorely needed. (Sue is a member of the WP Dawgs and, as previously mentioned, is part of a group which goes to the Coalition and runs with the residents of the facility.)

 

The final tally will be in excess of 350 blankets!  Good job!

 

Have a great week!
