Thursday Night Special!

What a great night at the Track for Team R.E.D. last night. Turnout from the youth participation was light (due to heat?).... but turnout from a volunteer perspective was fantastic! Thanks to all of you!

****************************

This Thursday, Team R.E.D. has a great opportunity to support the community and have a great party, all at once! We'll adjust this week's RED schedule to accommodate a running/walking/biking night, along with this chance to volunteer. See more details later in this post regarding the week's schedule of events.

Thursday 5:30pm (or as soon as you can get there) Join other Team R.E.D. members for approx 3 hours of volunteering in the park. What does that entail?

• We'll be assembling some of the park equipment. Nothing too difficult, and remember, we need supervisors too! The more the merrier... come on out!
• O'Leary's are providing hot dogs, burgers and a grill to grill them on.
• Mesenburgs are providing the beer.
• Bring a side dish if you like.
• The rest of us, just need to Work. Eat. Drink. Fun!

It's not available yet, but we will also be installing a sign, stating to the effect, Team R.E.D. has adopted the park, in loving memory of our dear friend, Paul Melby.
