Last Saturday, a sunny but hot and humid day. Greeted the 17 members and 3 pets for the 30th (pun alert!) running of this event. Christine Scheuch led the way with a fantastic time, considering the conditions, of 32 minutes 55 seconds.
Dorothy Henninger drove our Courtesy Car and made many, many trips around the big lake with water to check on everyone to make sure they and the pets were okay and well hydrated.
We all enjoyed orange juice upon returning to the clubhouse.
John Grimaldi created history by being the first participant in 30 years to make the trip around the big lake in a battery powered scooter. A nice touch was having Nancy Grimaldi (my daughter) participate as it was 30 years ago that Nancy and her dad jogged around the big lake. Nancy was a member of the Vernon H.S. undefeated Cross Country Team when the idea of the Jogathon was born. Making it even more special was having my grandson Thomas Grimaldi, his friend Justine and my granddaughter Christine Grimaldi participate. Having them there made it special.
Consider joining us next year. It is always an enjoyable event.

The Jogathon/ Walkathon was (pun alert!) run last Saturday under cloudy skies. It was an unsummer like, raw, and cold (66 degrees) day but 13 members braved the conditions and enjoyed the walk, jog, or run around the big lake.
Craig Bermier repeated his win of last year with an excellent time of 31 minutes and 11 seconds.
The first woman finisher was Christine Scheuch in a great time of 32 minutes and 2 seconds.
Dorothy Henninger is thanked for being the driver of our courtesy car.

28th Report: Last Saturday saw the (pun alert) running of this popular event. The great weather resulted in over 50 members and guests enjoying a walk, jog, or run around the big lake. Canine participants Cooper, Dodger, and Tinkerbell had a great time!
A pleasant surprise was the Ventor girls, Anne and Carolyn and their friend Kristen Marie Hollenbeck. They offered lemonade and water as everyone passed the Ventor home on East Lakeside Drive. Thanks, that was thoughtful and very much appreciated.
If you didn't make it this year, give it a try next year- you'll enjoy it!
