Double Post!!

I'll let this speak for itself:

Calling all runners!

MRC Member Paul Duncan is organizing a Minnesota Reading Corps team to take part in the Tesfa Run for the Kids 5k on Saturday November 7th. Money raised by the event supports the Tesfa Foundation, a Minneapolis-based charity that provides early childhood education to disadvantaged children in Ethiopia, where no public preschool or kindergarten is available. Tesfa has founded five schools in and around Addis Ababa and will open a sixth next year. For more information, please see http://www.tesfa.org/.

To encourage participation, Paul has offered to pay the race registration fees for the first five MRC members who e-mail him at [email protected]. Please include your name and phone number. Paul will contact you for registration details if you are one of the first five to contact him. If you are not one of the first five, but would still like to take part in the race, the registration form can be downloaded at http://www.tesfa.org/events.html.

PLEASE NOTE: Members who sign up for this civic engagement event will be expected to participate in the race as promised. Members will also be required to wear their MRC T-shirts during the event.

So e-mail Paul and represent the MRC and its support for the Tesfa Foundation!
