There is an event coming up later this month to honor the soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. The Run for the Fallen is a 12-mile course loop at Odiorne State Park, Rye NH that will be held on Sunday August 21, 2011. More information can be found on the website www.runforthefallennh.com/.

Registration is necessary to participate in the run. This can be done online at www.active.com.

At the end of the run, lunch will be provided by Carrabba’s Italian Restaurant 🙂

Second Annual Pasta Fundraiser in Honor of SSG Edmond Lo

Posted on by

We would like to thank everyone for another successful Annual Pasta Fundraiser. This year we were able to raise over $5,000 for the Edmond Lo Memorial Fund. In case you’ve missed it, this years Scholarship winners from the Salem High School JROTC have been chosen. Congratulations to Melissa Vining and David Pierson on your awards and continued excellence. We wish you the best of luck in the future.

This year we received a special donation of two Red Sox tickets for behind first base which we raffled off. Congratulations to Eileen Sousa on winning the Red Sox tickets! There were a lot of participants for this raffle and we appreciate everyone’s support. And of course, this prize would just not be possible without the very generous donation from Admiral Metals.

A lot of work and effort went into making this night happen. It took many volunteers and some sweat and we may not have got to thank everyone for their hard work. We thank you for coming together and remembering Edmond, for the continuous support from the community and for allowing us to make donations and contributions in memory of Edmond Lo.

Again, we thank everyone who attended the event and hope all who attended had a great time. We tried our very best to plan everything and understand that still not everything went as smooth as possible (coffee anyone?). We’d love to hear your feedback or comments to help us improve upon next year’s event.
