1.  NEW SATURDAY LOCATION – Brueggers Bagels on East Blvd.

We tried the run from Brueggers the last 2 weeks and it worked out well.  We decided to try it for the rest of April so spread the word. 

Park in the Caribou Coffee/Brueggers Bagels parking lot (1531 East Blvd). Breakfast afterwards at Brueggers.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD SO EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THE CHANGE

You can join us for breakfast around 10:00 even if you don't run.

2.  Twilight 5k – Date Correction – Thursday 5/12

This race will be an official Front Runners race.  It is a 5k that runs downtown on Thursday night May 12th at 7:00 PM.  Mark your calendar and stay tuned for more details.

3.  Charlotte Pride Volunteers Needed for Front Runner Booth

The Front Runners will host a booth at Charlotte Pride again this year on Saturday 5/7.  We will need volunteers to pass out info about our club and talk to interested runners and walkers.   The booth will be open from 11 am until 6 pm.  We will have 4 shifts:

12:00 – 2:00

4.  AIDS Walk message from Lamont Holly

Hey Yall,

I am writing to let you know that I am registered for the AIDS WALK Charlotte 2005 and am VERY excited about this event. This is a very important cause to me so I have set an ambitious fundraising goal. I will do as much as I can to make a difference in the lives of men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS and help provide compassionate care for individuals living with HIV/AIDS in our community. All contributions go to Regional AIDS Interfaith Network, RAIN.

RAIN is an organization that I have been very passionate about since I first learned what they do. For over ten years, they have provided care, compassion, understanding and love to people living and dying with HIV/AIDS. They have been families to people whose families turned their backs on them. They have given hope to people who had all but given up. RAIN truly does change and save lives.

Please sponsor me for the AIDS WALK Charlotte 2005 and/or sign up to walk with me. Just click on the website address below to enter my personalized web page and charge your donation. Any donation amount will make a world of difference.

Thank you for supporting this important cause and for showing that you truly care about our community. If you are not comfortable using the online donation site, please feel free to forward checks Payable to RAIN to me at 323 French Street Charlotte, NC 28216.

(I apologize if your receive this message more than once. Thanks for understanding)
