St. John-A-Thon 2011

Yes fellow Rotarians, it is that time of year again when we have our annual St John-a-thon Fundraiser. This will actually be the 9th time we have had this fundraiser and it will take place on Sunday March 13.

Over the years it has funded vocational projects at CAHS, equipment for Savan Boys Club, our ongoing matching grant program in Lira, Uganda amongst other things.

The event is a 13 mile run/hike from Hansen Bay at the Eastern most point of St John to Cruz Bay in the West. The route begins at sea level and crosses the center of St John reaching a maximum elevation of 1000 feet and finishing back at sea level. (Eight Tuff Miles plus five) Each year a few bold/crazy Rotarians participate in this feat and seek pledges/sponsorships from Rotarians and the general public. "See attached map of the route"

I will be making an announcement at lunch today about the event and will also have my pledge sheets ready so bring your check books and/or cash and let's have 100% participation from our club. Our goal is $12,000.

If you are interested in walking/running please let me know via email and I will provide you with further information and pledge sheets.
