4 freshments were given out as the run- ners recuperated. All proceeds went to support the Richmond Ronald McDonald House, which helps families and terminally ill children. Everyone agreed it was a fun time for a good cause. Helping out during the day, the Key Club and Keyettes find this to be a worthwhile experience.

RUN FOR FUN One community project that involved students, adults, runners and Ronald McDonald was the Ronald McDonald Run-For-Fun held on a sunny but chilly October 9, 1983. It was organized and sponsored by the Chester Kiwanis, aided by Thomas Dale and Bird Key Club and Keyettes who lined the course, cheered the runners on and also supplied the runners with refresh- ments along the course.
