Organized Chaos!

There is less than one week to go until the running of the 2009 Turkey Trot here in Clark County, WA. Things are coming together nicely. Yesterday a really dedicated group of people over at First Independent Bank stuffed 500 bags with a bunch of really nice stuff (hat, mug, more) in preparation for the race. Every few minutes, someone else signs up for the race and it looks like we might hit our 500 racer maximum. Others are busy buying donuts, getting ready to brew coffee, find space heaters, gather the start/finish banners and more. It’s actually a lot of fun.

We have had a number of businesses and other sponsors in our area step up and really make a meaningful contribution. It is encouraging to know there are so many out there who care about helping others. In no particular order, here’s who we appreciate:

*First Independent Bank (Presenting Sponsor)
*Firstenburg Family Foundation
*New Heights Church
*Almega Door
*Workplace Resource of Oregon
*Fred Meyer
*Winco Foods
*Boyds Coffee
*Fit Right Northwest
*Yogi
*Applied Motion Systems
*House of Magnets
*Graphic Business Solutions
*Garrett Sign
*Schlecht Construction

These are just companies and organizations, but it is the people behind them all that actually make it all work. Way to go!
