Needed, Team T-Shirts
Wow! Race Space opened this morning at 10:00 following the blessing. It is totally awesome.
What the place really needs though are Team T-shirts. You can now drop them off at the Race Space during operating hours (below), the Affiliate offices between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., or mail to the Komen for the Cure Affiliate offices at 904 Autumn Road, Suite 500, Little Rock 72211 (if you want to chance the mail this late).
I recommend taking them to the Race Space. You really need to check it out. Donna and her committee have done an amazing job on the Boutique. Even if you are already registered, you need to go by and see what they have available. Keep in mind that quantities are limited to what they have. They do not reorder. So SHOP EARLY!
The Race Space is in the same location as last year. It is at Pleasant Ridge Town Center (11525 Cantrell Road, Little Rock) located 2 blocks west of I-430 and Cantrell/Hwy 10. Right beside Kitchen Co. in the shopping center.
They opened today and will be open every day until Friday, October 16th.
Hours of operation:
Mondays through Fridays: 10 AM - 7 PM
Saturdays - 10 AM - 6 PM
Sundays - 12 PM - 6 PM
(2 PM closing on Friday, October 16th)
Shop til you drop,
Jill
