2013-2014 Girls on the Run

Girls on the run

 

Girls on the run is in need of one more parent for certain, but would also welcome another parent if I can get one.

 

We practice on Mondays and Thursdays, and have our 5k in November.  The training in August is paid for by GOTR, and coaches receive free CPR certification and  very thorough instruction in curriculum and games.  Background checks by GOTR are also performed, free of charge, for any person who's willing to volunteer for eleven weeks as a GOTR coach.

 

Interested people can contact our Atlanta coordinator, Sandy Dean, at gotr.sandy@gmail.net, or me, at bandhwhite@charter.net.  

 

Thanks SO much for Suwanee's willingness to keep this program active and supported!
