Hollis Brookline Rotary’s Record-Breaking
2007 Race!
(Hollis, NH) With the June 7th running
now complete, with its amazing winning time of 13:47,
the Hollis-Brookline Rotary Club Apple Country Fast 5K road
race was indeed a best-time record-breaker for this annual event.
Runners from Brookline, Hollis, Nashua, Manchester and a dozen surrounding
towns were in the competition.
The event also broke previous fund-raining
records! Receipts from business sponsorships of the
event exceeded the previous record total of $10,000 by nearly $3,000.
Leaders among donors were our
Gold Partners: Lovering Volvo,
Harvest Market, and Lorden Oil
Silver Partners:
Lull Farm and McLaughlin Transportation
Bronze Partners: Hollis Veterinary,
Club National and T.J. McCartney
These, plus the other contributing area businesses, merchants, and individuals
are
again this year supporting directly the many educational, charitable,
and community-service programs that are conducted by the Hollis Brookline
Rotary Club.
Hollis Brookline Club members also contribute
funds to the Rotary International fight to eradicate polio worldwide and to
provide clean water to thousands in Honduras and other Central American and
Caribbean countries.
The Club once again extends its heartfelt
thanks, on behalf of our many supported causes, to our Partners and other
contributors. They can be assured that every penny of sponsor-donated money
will pass through the Club directly to a
Rotary-supported cause!
“Our Sponsors Are Our Partners” is the new
policy, and practice, for all Hollis Brookline Rotary Club fund-raising
events. Far more than just acknowledgement at and around event time, the Club
recognizes that its major sponsors are indeed its Partners in every charitable donation it makes, and
in every charitable good work that
it does. Businesses wishing to become Hollis Brookline Rotary Club Partners
may do so by contacting any Club member.

professional leaders united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, and
