SABA 5K

The first SABA 5k happened yesterday and was a tremendous success!! The weather was perfect, the food and drinks were plentiful, and everyone had a great time. We had 63 participants, including about 20 people who did the 1 mile run/walk and 39 who ran the 5k race.

I have to send out a HUGE thank you to all the volunteers who made this a wonderful event. Among the many people who helped organize this event, I want to particularly thank Erica Keagy for all her ideas and tremendous effort; Alain Plante for taking care of so many details; Ken Keagy for his fantastic designs of the shirt, posters, and signs; Ed Margagee for his support and equipment; and Matt Taglang for his experience and guidance.
