We're having two events in March:
-- On Saturday, March 14, let's get together to watch the Blue Ridge St. Patrick's Day parade. We'll meet up near the Mercier Orchards store at the intersection of Depot and West Main because there is some handicapped accessible parking there, and there are benches and spaces where people can set up chairs to watch the parade. The parade starts at 11AM, but you may want to come a little earlier so you can park, especially since the train also takes off at 11. Haven will bring some St. Patrick's Day accessories so we can decorate ourselves and get in the spirit of things. Wear green if you like, and bring your own folding chair if you'll need one. This event is for everyone (all ages).
-- On Saturday, March 21, we're putting on the Duncan Dash 5k run/walk and 1-mile fun run at 8:30AM at Meeks Park in Blairsville. This event will raise money to pay for Haven Project programs for the next year.
Families associated with Haven Project can run or walk in the 5k or 1-mile fun run at no cost. Just email us before March 7 (havenprojectofga@gmail.com) if you want to do that so we can be sure to get a race t-shirt in your size and get you signed up to participate in the event. Whether you're an experienced racer or just want to come out for a nice walk on a beautiful spring day, we'd love to have you participate. It's for all ages and abilities.
Online registration for others who might like to participate can be found here:: https://www.active.com/blairsville-ga/running/distance-running/4th-annual-duncan-dash-5k-and-fun-run-2020
100% of every paid race registration goes toward Haven programs, so please spread the word!
We're also in need of volunteers for the Duncan Dash. We can use help with registration, handing out water to participants as they finish, taking pictures, and cheering for people along the course and at the finish line. If you would like to volunteer, please let us know.
Hope to see you in March!
