Sunday October 16, 2011 will be a busy day for JFAHELP.
First and foremost, two of our HELP program groups will be hosting 5K events on October 16th.
The New Visions 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk will be held at the New Visions main office in Slingerlands, NY. The mile walk begins at 10 AM and the 5k begins at 10:30. To register online, please visit http://www.areep.com/online_reg/registration.php?eventID=143 Keep an eye out for JFA staff participating in both the 5K and the 1 mile events!
The Arc of Rensselaer is hosting Arc in the Park 5K Run, Walk, and Roll. This event will be held at the Rensselaer Tech Park in Troy, NY. The day kicks off with a 1/2 Mile Fun Run/Walk that is free for all ages beginning at 9:30. The run begins at 10 AM. http://www.rensselaerarc.org/5k.htm At this point, only on-site registration is available. As you can imagine, with an all ages fun run, our family will be at this event so our little girl can get her fill of racing! Keep an eye out for me, Coach T, and other JFA staff participating in this event as well.
October 16th also marks the Annual World Food Day. Consider a donation to your local food pantry, volunteer at a soup-kitchen, or simply sign the petition to end hunger. www.worldfooddayusa.org
"World Food Day was proclaimed in 1979 by the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). It marks the date of the founding of FAO in 1945. The aim of the Day is to heighten public awareness of the world food problem and strengthen solidarity in the struggle against hunger, malnutrition and poverty" (www.un.org/Depts/dhl/food/index.html)
