To the editor:

We wanted to say a huge thank you to the Bainbridge Kiwanis club for saving the “All Comers Track Meets.”

Our friends and family were so sad when we thought the races would be cancelled this year.

The Monday races are one of our family’s favorite traditions. We have been running in the races since we were 2 years old. We go every week to see our friends, run and jump over the hurdles. We love the chance to compete with other kids our age. The All Comers brings kids and parents of all ages together to have healthy fun. It is the one chance we get to meet up with big groups of our school friends during the summer.

We are so thankful that the Kiwanis Club came to the rescue and agreed to sponsor the track meets this summer.

On behalf of all the kids and families who love the All Comers and look forward to it all year long, thank you! The Kiwanis Club rocks!
