Happy spring! I am more than ready for some warm weather, and I bet you are too! Speaking of warm weather, we could have used a little of it at the Rump Run this year! This quarter's newsletter is dedicated to all things Rump Run, so more information about the 2019 event is included below. Even though the day dawned drizzly and chilly, we still had a great turnout, and we would like to say THANK YOU to all those who were able to join us this year! We are always interested in improving this event, and would love to have your feedback. We have provided survey opportunities for participants, volunteers and sponsors/vendors below. If you have a moment, please consider letting us know what you thought, and how we can improve future events. Your input is much appreciated!
In good health,
Kayse Rigsby
Executive Director
