I wanted to tell you that as a parent your Jog-A-Thon fund raising program
would be such a welcome relief from the magazine sales they do in North
Canton.

1. It would teach the children to actually work for the funds. i.e.: # of
laps = # of $ raised (I remember doing all kinds of walks etc when younger
to raise funds for organizations such as CROP)

2. Here in Ohio there are so many overweight children, and this is a
healthier approach at raising funds instead of friends and family purchasing
magazines they really don't have time to read or even want.

Unfortunately I see on the school schedule in September that "Magazine Sales
Start" (sends shivers down my spine) and my son will once again be hounding
everyone to renew or purchase more subscriptions.

Several ponders have asked what Jog-A-Thon is at the bottom of our posts.
It is a fundraiser that I (Jim) put together for Phyllis' school and have
begun to do with other public and private schools. Helps them raise
scholarship money, etc.

Not as satisfying as ponding, but satisfying as it helps the schools raise
a
lot of money. We got tired of overpriced candy bars!
