Join Hands Day on the Gunflint Trail

     The first Saturday in May is Join Hands Day.  This day is set aside for people to make a difference in their community and to bring young people and adults together.  I can’t think of a better place to join hands than on the Gunflint Trail.  I can’t think of a better reason to join hands than the Ham Run Half-Marathon.

     The Ham Run-Half Marathon and 5k Fun Run offer non-profit groups the opportunity to earn money for their organizations.  While working together at an aid station adults and youth can join hands and connect with each other while cheering on the race participants.

     If you’re looking to connect with others and do good then contact me and I’ll set you up to do so on Join Hands Day, Saturday, May 5th or the day after during the Ham Run.  sue@canoeit.com

SAVE THE DATE!  SATURDAY, MAY 5, 2012

JOIN HANDS DAY is the only national volunteer day on the Seasons of Service calendar that specifically targets and develops relationships between young people and adults through neighborhood volunteering. Youths and adults work together on an equal basis to plan, organize and implement the day’s activities. Building relationships across generations restores confidence, trust and respect for each other and creates a sense of community.
