Reed Interact Club Prepares For Upcoming ‘Run For Ron’

Students in the Reed Intermediate School Interact Club prepared signs during a recent meeting of the club for Saturday, May 16, “Run for Ron Bienkowski and Family” at the school. Mr Bienkowski, the school district’s business manager, was recently diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. The club set up the walk-a-thon/run-a-thon, where people will be able to pledge to run or walk three or five miles around two trails at the school, to help the Bienkowski family with medical expenses. Anyone wishing to participate can pick up a pledge sheet at the Board of Education offices on Peck’s Lane, or at Reed Intermediate School. The sheets must be dropped off Saturday. The event begins at 8:30 am. Anyone who would like to contribute but will not be able to make it to the event can help by making a check payable to the Rotary Foundation and writting “Ron Bienkowski Medical Fund” on the memo line. Checks should be mailed to the Newtown Savings Bank, 39 Main Street, Newtown CT 06470. The Rotary Club and bank have offered to manage the donations through the Rotary Foundation.
