The community is invited to come on out for ìRun for Jamaicaî on Sunday, August 24.

It is a USATF certified course and there will be a 5K start at 8 a.m. and a Kids 1K at 8:30 a.m.
Music, food, activities for all ages, and plenty of fun for everyone will follow the race.
Hosanna worship service will be at 9:30 a.m.

Registration forms are available at the Hosanna Church office at 9300 Scandia Tr. N. or register online at www.h51software.net.

Cost is $15 for adults and $10 for kids. Participants will receive a t-shirt with registration. Prizes also are available for placing in the race and kids games.

This is the fourth year for this event which helps raise funds for the Mission Jamaica project. Next January, a team of adults from Forest Lake will be going to the Westhaven Orphanage in Copse Jamaica.

Westhaven is home to 75 children with varying degrees of disabilities. The team works on continued building projects for new buildings at the site as well as doing various ìdo it yourselfî projects. The team also helps the staff with daily care for the children.

Individuals with questions about ìRun for Jamaicaî or would like to learn more about being a part of Mission Jamaica, contact Tom Schwolert at 464-5502 or tschwolert@hosannachurch.net.
