Monster Run – Les Kristt
Les reported that this year's Monster Run was a huge financial success.  He thanked everyone for their work and support.  We had 250+ runners and volunteers helping us reach our goal.  
 
Orshii shared how moving it was when a hush came across the crowd preparing to run as they heard the National Anthem sung by fellow Rotarian Lori Orestano-James. 
He said he was proud of the efforts of all and thanked everyone for making this the best year ever.
