Chestertown's 1st Half Marathon

Dear Fellow Alumni,

As you may already know, I started an organization called Athletes Serving Athletes, Inc. (ASA) over two years ago. Our mission is to provide the opportunity for challenged athletes to pursue an active lifestyle through the thrill of athletic competition otherwise inaccessible to them. Specifically, we offer programs and services that inspire, prepare and enable challenged athletes to compete in running, triathlon and cycling events.

I am pleased to share that ASA has made great strides in its first two years and we have teamed up with the Chestertown Town Council, Washington College, Kent County Sheriffs Department, Charm City Run and three local charities (Women in Need Inc. and its after-school programs at “the alley”, Character Counts! Kent County, and The Radcliffe Creek School) to host the Inaugural Chestertown Half Marathon on September 18, 2010, at Wilmer Park in Chestertown.

Please join us, either as runner, spectator, or volunteer, to witness the perseverance and courage that will be on display by amazing athletes who will push the limits of their abilities and show “what is possible.”

Go to www.chestertownhalfmarathon.com for complete information and registration forms. Corporate sponsorship opportunities are available as well. (Please note that corporate sponsorship commitments need to be made no later than August 1, 2010, to be included in the event marketing and promotion, and on banners, and race shirts.)

Last but certainly not least, we can use all of the volunteers we can get to make this event a great success. If you or any groups that you know would be interested, please contact me directly.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you in advance for saving the date and spreading the word! Your generosity will make a difference in the lives of others less fortunate.

Sincerely,

David Slomkowski

Farewell to Washington College

June 30, 2010

To the Washington College Community,

Thanks to all of you who care so deeply about this special place, we have truly enjoyed our time in Chestertown. As Tom Paxton remarked about his career at the dedication of the Daniel Z. Gibson Center for the Arts last October, “The pleasure has been all mine.”

With best wishes for a bright future,
Baird and Sarah Tipson
