But what about all the others clogging your closets? How about dropping them off at Bill Battey Sporting Goods, 1 West Front Street, Media (across from the fire station). Battey’s is collecting gently used athletic shoes that somehow, someway end up benefiting the poor in Africa. Details at Perpetual Prosperity Pump Foundation. Tom Emmons at Battey’s also says he has African runners coming in to the store asking for race T-shirts and just about anything else they can get for their countrymen (and women), so if you have wayyyyy too many shirts in your drawers, bring them to Battey’s, too. Newsletter Archive - Joe Freiberg has done the club a great service and I think you'll also like it. Many of the club old-timers have regaled me with tales of how well they used to run. Now when I talk to someone that suffers from dementia I just slowly back away while nodding my head up and down. I'm sure you've seen me doing this a lot. But some of them may have actually been telling me the truth. Check out the Newsletter Archive and relive a bit of club history. The club could use your help in adding more newsletters to the archive. If you have any that are missing, please contact Joe Freiberg.
