Dear Friends and Supporters of The St. Joseph School Jubilee Jog:
As they say at the races, we are "spinning out of the turn" toward the finish line which is the start of our 14th Annual 5 K run/walk on Monday, Memorial Day at 8 am. With your prayers it looks like we might just make it under wire for they're expecting some rain late in the day on Monday with a high of 73 and a low of 48 degrees.
Thanks to Billy Zigmond our T-Shirts are finished and look great! Close to 300 runners have signed up as of last evening and at the Annual St. Joseph School/Parish Pasta Dinner last night some 60+ runners bags were handed out.
Today you can pick up your runners bags today from 10 am to 5 pm over at Runners Edge - 335 Ridge Rd # E Wilmette (847) 853-8531. The special "pre-race" sign up price of $27 (adults 15 yrs and over) and $15 (children 14 & under) will be honored all day today. The Race Day Registration price will bump up to $35 and $20 on Monday (Memorial Day).
We have lots of prizes, music, food and fun planned for our run on Monday. If that waistline is getting a bit round and you have any bagels, donuts or cookies laying around your home feel free to bring some along for Monday. We should have enough for our runners, but we need to feed all these hard working volunteers who, like me, have been great at expanding their waistlines. Maria McCanna at 847-530-9395 should be able to coordinate some of this "last minute" food donations.
We'd like to thank all the volunteers who helped stuff our bags this past Thursday evening and who are planning to volunteer for the many jobs required to pull this event off on race day. Finally, a big round of thanks to our many sponsors - new and old alike - who have graciously provided us with their support in the form of cash, in-kind donations for prizes, word of mouth referrals and much needed window display access for our many banners around the north shore.
Keep the prayers coming for good weather at race time Monday morning at 8 am!!
Thanks again!
Peace and God Bless,
