Bates Arts in Motion 5K

Please mark April 30 on your calendar for the 2nd Annual 5K at Bates.   This year we want to make sure that ALL Bates family and community members are motivated to participate in this fun event!  All Bates Students who preregister at school will be given FREE registration.  The desire is to promote fitness to all our students!   Families and friends can register for the low fee of $15 for adults, $10 for under 18.  The committee has been working hard to make sure that it is an awesome event with a DJ and prizes.

To support this effort, we are looking for business and personal sponsors.  Logos will be printed on the t-shirts for donations of $100 or more.  Your family name or business name can be listed as a supporter for as low as $25.  Please contact Jim Lathom (jimlathom@yahoo.com) or Tim Whisted (tim@littlehavana.com) for details. 

The 5K Committee is also looking for someone to handle the Volunteer Coordination for Race Day.  If you are interested, please contact Lynn Sullivan at sullyman5@comcast.net.

You can register online at: http://www.active.com/running/annapolis-md/bates-arts-in-motion-5k-2011
or print out the form below and send it in to the school.  The first 300 entries will be given t-shirts.  Based on the Spaghetti Dinner turnout, I'd recommend registering early to make sure you get one!
