If you come out on Saturday mornings for a run or just for coffee, bring a loonie for the Saturday Draw. Each loonie donated gives you a chance to win a $15 Gift Card for Guys Bakery /Cafe!!! And the money collected goes to a worthy cause. Proceeds from the first few months went to Cochrane Activettes – approx $150!!!. February, March and April’s proceeds went towards the fund raising for the Footstock Young Runners program. May, June and July’s proceeds will go to the Boys and Girls Club. Click here for more info.

I've received a few responses but not quite there on the first 10 people required in order to get the discount. So....check out the web site for race details: www.cause.ca/marathon So, I need to know: * Are you planning on going to the event? Don't register on your own! Print the form, sign it and get it to me asap. Each time I gather 10 forms, I'll send them in under the Club name so that we can take advantage of the reduced rate. * If you are going, do you wanna take the bus?? That I really need to know....so that we can get the right sized bus!!
