Almost two weeks ago The Charlevoix Marathon happened in Charlevoix. Many local service groups help work the aid stations along the route, fueling and cheering on the runners. Charlevoix's Grand Knight Don Jasurda and members of Council #7172 Charlevoix St. Mary's participated for the 1st time this year. They passed out water and Powerade, plus cheered everyone on with smiles on their faces! We all battled rain, wind and hail to help over 2,000 runners cross the finish line!

To our delight, joining us in this celebration were Worthy State Deputy Barry Borsenik and his wife, Lady Mandy, and Worthy State Advocate Dan Fuller and his wife, Lady Kara. We are most appreciative of their attendance, interest, and support of our council.
