Never Too Late? -- this time it almost is, do it now!

--- sign up for the Run For Ed.5K to benefit Sellwood Middle School.

The walk will be along the Springwater Corridor on Saturday, October 19th.

Registration begins at the school at 8:30 am. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Sellwood Middle Shool Foundation and directly support the school's diverse electives program of art, band, Spanish and industrial arts.

One of the treats in my life is that I live across the street from the school and have the privilege of hearing the various bands practice. They march right past my house, in formation, looking and sounding great! The sound of the marimba band fills my garden on spring days and makes the weeding go that much better!

It's a sad fact that now days there aren't funds for the kinds of activities that many of us took for granted back in the day. Schools are forced to turn to the community in a variety of ways - and the 5K Fun/Run/Walk is one of those ways.

So let's get out there and walk -- or become a sponsor of the event. You can download forms and register at the school's web site, www.sellwoodmiddleschool.org, The registration fee is $20, adults, and $15 for kids. The 1k fun walk is free. Or get more information by contacting May Kyle McCurdy, 503-777-5312, or Dana McKillop, 503-349-1808.

See you there? It will be fun!
