Info for Abe's Army Platoon Leaders!!!

Abe's Army begins Tuesday, May 30 and we are well on our way to having another great program for folks looking to train for Abe's Amble 10 kilometer race.

If you have registered to be a Platoon (group) Leader, here is what you need to know:

The Platoon Leader orientation is set for Tuesday, May 16, 5:45 p.m. at Athleticare, 3631 S. 6th Street in Springfield (next to FitClub South).

If you are registered as a Platoon Leader, or would like to be a Platoon Leader, it is recommended that you attend the orientation. This is a great opportunity for you to know what you will be doing as a Platoon Leader. We'll have Platoon Leader shirts, Platoon Leader manuals, and lots of good information that will keep your "recruits" running all summer long!!!! An optional, abreviated CPR course will be available following orientation for any Platoon Leaders who are interested.

If you are a Platoon Leader and need more information, please contact Jan Wilson at twolazybums@sbcglobal.net

We'll see you on the 16th and thanks for volunteering as a Platoon Leader.
