From The Founding Aunt Of Team Vardo, Kori Q. Heuss:  A Note On An Upcoming Event

The Muddy Monster Cross Country Run (formerly the Devil's Dash) is scheduled for Saturday, October 25th at Noelridge Park in Cedar Rapids. The event welcomes runners of all athletic abilities to participate in a professionally managed event. For complete details, including registration information, visit http://muddymonster.com.  (Editor’s note: For some unexplained reason, Kori likes to thrash around in the mud. This probably dates back to her days in the Gamma Phi house at ISU.)


Madrid Labor Day Weekend Races

Father Fencl left a somewhat garbled message on the VardoPhone with word that several rostered and non-rostered staff members of the Our Lady of Vardo church turned in fine performances in Madrid this weekend. I was able to decipher that Brother Mullins, Sister Goodman, and Father Fencl (also known as That Dumbshit From Protovin) finished in the top tiers of their respective age / gender categories.  I would imagine the event was chock full of Vardo’s. A more complete report may be forthcoming as the week progresses.


GAAAAAR!

Captain Midnight’s 5K Run/Walk for Cystic Fibrosis

When was the last time you can remember seeing so many Vardo’s at one event.  You had Vardo’s walking. You had Vardo’s running.  You had Vardo’s on the course providing directions.  You had Vardo’s at the finish line as official timers.  You had Vardo’s crawling on their bellies like reptiles. To put the icing on the cake, you had The Vardo herself live and in person directing traffic. Truly, a fine Vardo evening was had by all.  And, of course, Professor Schultz has the Team Vardo website promptly updated with a congratulatory message to the magnificent Vardo who orchestrated the whole event, Jeff Margrett.
