Thirty plus runs attended Bill W annual New Year's Day "10 at 10" - 10 miles at 10 AM . Dalma D, Karen S and Chris C turned the event it into a very fun run by hosting coffee & cookies for the participants on this beautiful 70 degree day to start to the Year.

We had a several fun runs in 2011 for example, Dottie & Jack B hosted a club Fun Run/Walk/Bike Ride in May 7th. The route left from the Sea Palms West area of SSI and we enjoyed a light breakfast since we deserved it after our run/walk/ride.
Linda and Ken hosted members on Sunday, April 3. Linda, a local historian, themed the event as a history lesson for the group.
The long and short run went to Ibo (also Ebo or Igbo) Landing, along Dunbar Creek. It was here that the members of the Ibos, a proud and noble tribe from Nigeria came to shore to become slaves; instead the chained tribesmen followed their chief into the creek waters and drowned themselves as they chanted, "The sea brought me and the sea will take me home".We met up at Gould's Cemetery. Gould purchased a nine hundred-acre tract known as New St. Clair that bridged the island from the Black Banks River to Dunbar Creek. He later bought six hundred acres, confiscated from a Loyalist after the Revolution, which lay along the Black Banks River. Gould's cemetery has about 99 marked and unmarked graves. Walkers and runners gather at at Benjamin Davis's grave, one of the eleven marked graves for group photo. What a great way to experience the island's history!
