>Hi All!

>On Sunday morning, 6/22, Fairfield Firefighters are hosting the 28th

>fun run road races to benefit the Connecticut Burns Care Camp for 
>Kids. We expect well over 3000 runners this year for the three races 
>- the largest turnout we have ever had!
>
>If anyone would like to volunteer in the morning (starting at 6:30 
>AM), please contact me by phone or e-mail.  There is lots to do

>For troop members who are also runners,  I will be able to "comp" a
