That was part one. Part Two is tomorrow Morning for our traditional All-A-Thon. We register at 7:30am and send off at 8:00am.
For those that attended, thanks to you.
More to come!

QUICK REMINDER:
Tomorrow is our annual MLK All-A-Thon which will begin at 8:00am at Christ Presbyterian Church at 1930 W. Walnut St. We start on our morning walk, run, bike, skate, or even drive around our selected route.
Registration will start at 7:30am
Also since we will be out in the area for at least two miles, yes we will be asked the goal of us walking. Mainly it's our fundraiser for students for higher education.
Yes there will be pictures taken along the route. If anyone does not want to be photographed, let our photographer(s) know. The goal is to document for future references and celebrations going forward. And to show what we do in the community.
So, be ready bright and early to kick off the holiday weekend as we once again support our students and the continued celebration of our 50th Anniversary!
BUT FIRST: Our Spaghetti/Ribs Dinner Fundraiser will come on Friday. (Either dine in or carryout) And a short program will be commenced.
