REF Runs Duvall 5K/10K : Fun Runs in the Sun

Dear Editor,

On June 5, 2010, Riverview Education Foundation hosted the 5^th annual Duvall 5K/10K Runs under sunny blue skies. It was a great morning of competition and camaraderie and REF wants to say “thank you!” to Duvall and the surrounding running communities for your participation. We also want to say “thanks!” to our amazing volunteers : this event was made possible by a dedicated group of course marshals, medical personnel, water station workers, registration volunteers, post-race food coordinators, sweeps, pacers, photographers and finish chute workers. Without them, there would simply be no race. They do a tremendous job!

Hats off to our wonderful sponsors as well! Please visit them here: http://www.refweb.org/duvallrun_sponsors.htm We sure are grateful for their help and support – their generosity makes fundraising for health and wellness programming in the Riverview School District a reality. We sincerely appreciate their hands-on community involvement.

So a big thanks to all of you and save the date: we’ll see you at the start line on June 4, 2011!

Wishing you the Best of Times,

Paige Denison, Race Director Dean Vergillo, Course Director

Duvall Heat Brings New Flavor to Duvall

The Rotary Club of Duvall made up of local business owners and citizens are bringing one of the largest barbecue events in the Northwest to Duvall. Under the name Duvall Heat and in conjunction with the Pacific Northwest Barbecue Association the Evergreen State Barbecue event will bring out some of the most well known barbecue competitors with some of the best flavors around. The two day event will be held in the Safeway parking lot. Safeway who is donating meat to the competition from its famed Rancher’s Reserve brand will be splitting the proceeds with the Rotary Club and its portion will benefit Safeway’s Muscular Dystrophy month long campaign. The parking lot will be filled with vendor booths, cooking trailers, music and a beer garden. The event is a family event so invite everyone you know. The Rotary Club and Foundation work all year to invent and host events to raise funds to support the clubs philanthropic works. The club does everything it can to support local efforts such as the Senior Center, the parks, and local schools but holds dear to its heart the eradication of Polio worldwide. The group which holds weekly Wednesday morning meetings is excited about what we all hope will become an annual event. For a full detailed description of the event check out the Duvall Heats website and to find out more about the Rotary Club visit their website. Make it a great day! Valley Voice Weekly Add new comment
