Happy (early) holidays!
Hello Everyone!
My name is Jim Mahoney and I'm again this year's Volunteer Coordinator for
the Frontrunners/Boston 13th annual Yuletide Stride. I ask for your help
once again to make this festive 5-mile road race through historic Boston a
success on Sunday, December 3 at noon. Frontrunners/Boston sponsors the fun
race for the benefit of our charitable organization, which helps AIDS Action
Committee supply holiday gift baskets to people living with AIDS and HIV.
Here's where you can help us out in a very important way:

Y'all can e-mail me at designingjim@aol.com to let me know for which tasks
you'd like to volunteer. Grab your friends, your roommate, your partner,
your co-worker, your gym buddies and give us your morning to cheer on the
runners up close, by guiding them through this terrific, fun race. It's a
great community event that kicks off the Holiday Season just in time. I look
forward to meeting all of you on December 2 and 3, to help the
Frontrunners/Boston make this 13th annual Yuletide Stride a success for our
community!

Many thanks!
