Strive to be, and make others, happy at this summer's Climbers That Care event

It’s easy to put the blinders on from time to time, especially as you’re thinking about the crux moves of your latest proj. But when you take a second to stop for the stray dog that runs across the road in front of you and take a look around at the homes and lives surrounding you, you’ll see that there are plenty of ways you can help the communities that you call home for the weekends in the RRG.

The RRG area, touching Powell, Wolfe, Lee, and Menifee counties, is home to some of the best people you’ve probably never met. But the economic truth of the matter means they need a hand from time to time. And with school about to get back in gear, it’s that time again.

Update: If you can’t make it to Red River Outdoors or to JATD, stop by Phillip Gall’s Outdoors in Lexington (mapped location) and let the employee on duty know it’s for Kate LaBoone. Thanks PG’s!

So, this August 14th, at the 6th Annual Johnny and Alex Trail Day, we need your help with rounding up supplies. It only takes a bit and we can use just about anything you can provide.

Summer 2009 CTC Donations

A few things that can help:

• School Supplies
  • including pens, pencils, notebooks, binders, crayons, etc.
• Clothes
  • any clothing that’s in good shape and not too well worn is appreciated.
• Money
  • the above two are preferable, especially since the money will go to buying more of the above

If you can’t make it to the JATD, consider dropping it by Red River Outdoors. They’ll also be able to tell you a little more about the event, its history, and its need.
