The Polidor 5k committee needs YOU!

Our 12th annual Polidor 5k is October 24th, and it's time to start making plans for the best event yet!

Our first committee meeting is THIS Tuesday, September 1st at 6pm. We will meet at St. Bartholomew Church in lower-level room 1.

We would LOVE to see some new faces this year, and all are welcome to join, so just show up!

Your help would not require a lot of time, and your support would make a BIG impact for the success of the event and for Alfa literacy in Haiti!

We'll have a couple of meetings a month until event day. We could use help with coordinating race day set up, kitchen/food help, volunteer coordination, sponsor communication and support, public relations in the community. No event experience is required. Just a smiling face and a willingness to help our team!

We hope to see you there and appreciate your support for Alfa literacy.
