5K Run for Families Raises $4,800 for Blessing Hands and Habitat for Humanity. We had a great time at the run. The sun came out just in time. We really want to thank all our volunteers, sponsors, and runners who enjoyed the day and helped each other. We invite you all back next year. What a great community Morehead, Kentucky is. Everyone helped, including the city and county police. The Rowan County Road Department made special 5K Run signs for each end of our course. Volunteers gave out water, cleared the course, and timed the runners. Special thanks goes to Kroger Center whose management rushed the resurfacing of their parking lot to avoid conflicts with our run. Nine visiting scholars from China spent the morning monitoring prize tables, manning the turn around of the course, taking pictures, and helping out where needed. They had never been to an auction or seen an American run. It is not something they will soon forget. Bluebank Church of God loaned us their van and driver, David Alexander, for the morning. Chris Kennedy at Commercial Signs gave us a 10 foot banner we can use again. The Salon and Day Spa and Cici's Pizza Buffet welcomed us to the space in front of their store, and Cici's gave us a percentage of their lunch receipts. Jeff Fannin's Good Shepherd Printing gave us 2,000 brochures that were designed by MSU student Karla Spencer. Ezra Dike from Habitat is a man of integrity concerned for his community. Other great committee members were Bob Grueninger, Jamie Sparks, Doris Wells, Kevin Sparks, Jan Lewis, and Ryan Shaw. Jeannette Brigantino, who owns Jeannette's Catering, recruited her friends to help with the refreshments. Doris Wells solicited the most donors as an individual while Kappa Delta Pi, a MSU Education honor society, raised $340 in donations as a team. Their advisor Kimberlee Sharp recruited 15 members. Most of all we thank our sponsors who made it all possible. They are listed at the bottom of the newsletter. Pictures of the 5K Run See all the pictures at this link. Thanks to all our sponsors.
