MMM IN THE DARK!
Sorry about the dark evening on Monday. An electrical problem (none) made it a little hard to read the lists and we had no music. Maynards assures us they are “on it”. As you can see below, the dark  didn’t seem
to bother too many people.
We MMM Athletes have the right attitude!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIAM!!
Liam 4th birthday
When Liam was asked how he wanted to celebrate
his 4th birthday, he said he wanted to go to MMM.
So we sang “Happy Birthday”.

Patio group in dark
These folks mind the dark at all.
And look, no jackets on December 6!!

TESTIMONIAL FROM A NEW MMM ATHLETE

What MMM means to me…Richard Hunter
Last Monday was my first MMM experience and I must say, I am addicted. I want a “T” shirt, I want a hat. I want to win gift certificates and most of all I want to bask in the fellowship of all of the other MMM runner/walkers

before, during and after the 3 mile trek.
