The Salvation Army is happy to hear that we have dubbed the RED Kettle at Byron Marketplace as the North Pole. They have included our adventure in a press release. I've copied and pasted the portion of the release that relates to Team R.E.D.
*****************************
- Thursday, “Team R.E.D.” arrives at the North Pole (a.k.a. the Byron Marketplace Kettle) at 6:00pm, with a violin welcome by Teresa Walters.
The Mission Statement of Team R.E.D. is Fitness & Fun! Over the last 4 weeks, members have been logging and submitting their weekly mileage to virtually travel 3200 miles from Byron, Minnesota to the North Pole. Thursday, upon arriving at the kettle, members plan to make a contribution to the Salvation Army. Team R.E.D. was formed in April, 2009 and has grown to over 100 members, primarily from Southeastern MN. Team R.E.D. welcomes members of all stripes: those who walk, walk & run, and others who seemingly run forever. Most importantly, the Team feels a strong sense of community, allowing it to not only support each other in fitness related goals, but also lead to opportunities to volunteer and support several area fund raisers, as well race events.
