This is a week later than the Fun Run this year, so hopefully attendance is up, This is a very important event as we have an Area sponsor for this event that would like to donate $2000. This will be very beneficial to help with things like Camp Malagash. May 9th is also the weekend for JOTT. If you are doing JOTT, perhaps you can do it on the same day at the dump location. Don't forget your pledge forms.

A member of Third Truro Group Committee will contact you prior to the Banquet to learn of your intentions regarding your attendance at the Banquet. Hope to see you on the 20th.
