The club's final donation was to the Oconee Medical Center Foundation. Here's the note that went with the check:
Please
accept this donation for your juvenile diabetes program.
Oconee
Road Runners Club has disbanded. On behalf of all the former members
I'd like to thank the Oconee Medical Center Foundation for helping
young people in our community with diabetes. The club actually
started as a group of neighbors jogging with a girl who had been
diagnosed with diabetes and prescribed a regimen of exercise by her
doctor. That was over thirty years ago, and although we have
supported other causes over the years, juvenile diabetes has been a
constant concern, dearest to the club's heart.
There
are a lot of people running in Oconee, and lots of races and events
going on -- I guess people just aren't interested in a club (or don't
have time for it). I intend to keep the event calendar going on our
website, and perhaps the blog too, as well as the facebook page. So,
if someone you are helping with diabetes (or anyone else) is
interested in doing a 5k, or maybe a half-marathon, you can send them
there to find events and maybe other runners.
