On November 6th, 2010 Schuyler County will host its 2nd annual Turkey Trek 5k Walk.  All proceeds raised from this walk go torwards St. Jude Children’s Hospital.  For more information on ways to register, please visit their website or contact Jennie Mulder, organizer at her email address jmulder@5kwalk.com.

Quincy St. Jude Runners are underway. Red Team ran to Camp Point as the Black Team cheered them on into town. The Black Team is on their way to Mt. Sterling and hopefully the Red Team will return the favor. Weather turned out nice and the kick off at WGEM was great. Hopefully everyone is having a great and safe time!

Please get your  pledge form turned into Bridget  ASAP, at least by next Tuesday (August 3rd)  We are needing these totals so that we know what we can pledge to St. Jude next week.  It is very important that you also inform Bridget of what was donated online and “offline.”  If you need any help, let us know.  If your fundraising is not done or if you have some people/contacts that you are waiting to hear back from, please turn in your pledge form  (remember, minimum $500) to her and I’m sure that we can update it as your fundraising comes to an end.

To get a 2010 pledge form, click on the image below and print it off.  You may return it to Bridget Hilbing or Justin Wollbrink.  Thanks!!
