5/11/08 Safety
Clinic a Success
The
2008 safety clinic was attended by 17 water skiers from Indiana, Kentucky,
Ohio and Michigan. Participates represented 3-event, wakeboarding and
barefooting and 15 students were attending their first safety clinic. Held
at Avon High School, instruction included Adult CPR training, basic first
aid, water rescue, and placing an injured skier on a backboard. This is
always one of the best safety clinics you could attend whether you plan to
be on the water or not. Look for it again next year...

The
Geist Half Marathon and 5K, presented by Community Health Network.
Here's a brief
explanation about this race and why it is unique…The money raised is
directly channeled back into the local school systems (Lawrence Township, HSE, and Mt Vernon to name a few)
and is going to be used for ONLY health and wellness programs.
Additionally, there are more than 1200 local children training for
this race and they will be running the Geist Half this year. This event is
directly improving the health of our children in the community now and
|
|
in the future. This is a family event and
unlike other for-profit races, the money is kept in the local area. The website
for the race is
www.geisthalf.com and runners and walkers can register online.
Volunteers can also register online. Many of the local water skiers live in
this area and have children in these schools. I couldn't think of a better
way to to test your fitness before heading into the upcoming ski season. if
anyone is interested in participation or volunteering please
check

2007 that I haven't been able to address. Please accept my apologies and if
there is anything I can do in the future it should now be in working order.
