RESERVOIR RUN FLYER DISTRIBUTION TEAM HITS THE ROAD
By Dan Gilbert
Team members distributed flyers at the Athletic Brewing Company’s Fairfield 5K (Saturday) and half marathon (Sunday) road races. Race organizers told us that approximately 4,500 runners attended the races. Team members placed flyers on over 1,700 vehicles' windshields.
| |
Several Kiwanians who helped with the distribution are dealing with challenging medical issues e.g., surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritic knees, and fatigue from volunteering for many shifts over the Memorial Day Weekend Fair. But, they showed up and got the job done. As is typical for our club as we complete volunteer efforts at major community service event we began work on the next event. | |
On Saturday (l to r) Reed Ameden, Steve Thomas, Dan Gilbert, and Alex Burns distributed flyers at the Jennings Beach lot. | |
On Sunday Harry Spencer, Tom Johnson, and Dan Gilbert placed flyers on windshields at the Jennings Beach parking lot. | |
|
A special shout-out goes to Ed Hutchins who single-handedly covered cars parked at Penfield Beach.
