We learned last night at the Army training that many of you on the email blast list did not receive an email earlier in the week explaining the plans for Corporals tonight and some follow-up items you need to know. I apologize if it caused you any inconvenience communicating with your groups and getting together tonight.
Twelve weeks has passed quickly and hopefully you and your platoon are ready to tackle the Amble this Sunday. Remember that packet pickup will be at Athleticare at the Fit Club South on Saturday from 12-5. We encourage you to come to pick up your packet on Saturday if at all possible. We will be able to distribute the tags for tag timing in advance so you will not need to recheck with us on Sunday morning.
We will have a special finisher's booth for Abe's Army participants on Sunday. Most likely this will be located right inside the fence in the Bud tent. We'll have a large poster of our Abe's Army logo where you and your teams can have their pictures taken before and after the race. This will also be the location where you will award your teams their finishers' medals. Please come to the booth after you finish the race to get your medals from Jan and to meet your recruits to award the medals.
Our celebration picnic will be held at Lincoln Park next week on Tuesday at 5:45 pm (our regular Tuesday night time). The picnic will be catered by Turasky's and features ground steak burgers, pulled pork and brats. Yum, yum! But to help us plan the right amount of food, we would appreciate you estimating how many from your group plan to attend. Please take a head count or estimate based on your knowledge of how many from your group are participating on a regular basis. Please reply to Jan Wilson at twolazybums@mwii.net or to me at jones.linda@mhsil.com by Wednesday night. I apologize for the short notice but rain the last two weeks has kept us from putting out a sign up list.
Thank you all for your leadership and keeping the groups going all summer.
We're doing an evaluation and if you did not participate today at Lincoln Park, we'll be bringing copies for your input to the picnic.
Keep running, walking, and crawling. We will be crossing the finish line soon!
Linda

will there be veggie burgers?
Linda is going to check and see if veggie burgers are available.
Are spouses available to come as well?
The picnic is part of the Abe's Army fee and designed for its members. We respectfully ask that you come to the picnic to share your time and excitement with your fellow Abe's Army comrades.
Jan is getting a box of veggie burgers and will ask Turasky's to cook them for us.
thanks Jan for the veggie burgers
