RUN FOR THE SOUL...MAY 10...DESERVES OUR SUPPORT!

Pull out your helmet, clean up the cycle and head to the Rec Center Saturday for the Fourth Annual "Run for the Soul" benefit for the Spiritual Live Center construction project.

This event, sponsored by the Ellsworth-Kanopolis Chamber of Commerce, is a most worthwhile fundraiser and all the proceeds will benefit the construction of ECF's Spiritual Life Center project.

If you are on foot, you can still enjoy some of the events of the day. There will be a tour of the Spiritual Life Center and a roarin' parade that is always lots of fun for sightseers and dreamers. Take some time to walk around the Rec Center to check out all the bikes and give the participants your support.

Here is the schedule of events:

7:00 to 9:00 a.m. -- Freewill donation breakfast (biscuits, gravy, and scrambled eggs)

8:00 a.m. – Registration begins

8:00 to 11:00 a.m. – Tours of the Spiritual Life Center (interested individuals are requested to report to the ECF officer’s station at the front entrance between this time frame)

10:30 to 11:30 a.m. – Praise and worship band performance

11:30 a.m. – Blessing of the bikes/vehicles

11:40 a.m. – SLC update (PowerPoint presentation)

12:00 Noon (rain or shine) – Prayer and departure (The public is invited to attend the parade in downtown Ellsworth led by the ECF color guard.)

4:00 p.m. – Approximate return time.

The trip consists of approximately 125 miles and will include stops at Bunker Hill and Lincoln.

Hamburgers and Polish sausages will be available for sale at the Recreation Center throughout the day. Upon conclusion of this event, a prize drawing will take place, with many of the prizes donated by local businesses and handcrafted by ECF inmates.

For additional information, individuals are requested to contact ECF Chaplains Greg Garringer or Herbie Harris at 785-472-5501, x448/459 or LeeRoy Charvat at 785-658-3687. Monetary prizes will be awarded for the top poker hands as follows: $1,000 Grand Prize; $300 Second Prize; and $100 Low Hand.
