| Message from Debi Bernardes (race director): Jim and I can never express our thanks enough for all the great support we have gotten from this club and the community when it comes to putting on the Great Train Race. If it wasn’t for all the experienced volunteers this race would not be as great as it was on Sunday. You all out-did yourselves, and you should be PROUD! What a great day WE had on Sunday. I think I can speak for everyone when I say "Thanks Debi and Jim for all your hard work in directing this race!!" |

Don't forget, Race for Debbie! is this weekend on May 10th. Long time FARC member Debbie McGee was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, in October of 2007. Friends of hers have put together a race in her name, with all proceeds to go to the ALS Foundation. For more information about the race, Debbie, ALS, or to make a donation, please visit the race website.
