On March 20, 2010 Macland is hosting a 5K Walk/Run called "Ashley's Run", named for Ashley Collis. Proceeds will go to fund a girl's "open" scholarship for Truett McConnell College. The event starts and finishes at Macland Baptist Church.

Forty volunteers are needed to work the event. Volunteers do not have to be a member of Macland, but members participating would be greatly appreciated. Volunteers would need to be at the church between 6:30-7:00 a.m. on March 20. If interested in helping, please see Keith who will have a table setup in the breezeway off of the atrium each Sunday in March prior to the event. http://www.active.com/running/powder-springs-ga/ashleys-run-2010

Ashley's parents, Keith and Melissa,

have this message to pass on:

"We want to honor Ashley's dream

of finishing college and becoming a

teacher so she could help others.

She could not finish her dream,

but through her, others can realize

theirs."
