This Saturday, the memorial race to honor Brentwood Officer Stephen Arkell kicks off at noon...at which time, thousands of volunteer hours will come together in tribute to the fallen officer and the community he loved.

You can still register at: http://officerarkell5k.org

Portsmouth Rotary is an important part of this event. Our club has established a scholarship fund in memory of Officer Arkell, and the net race proceeds after event expenses and designated donations to the family fund and Brentwood Police Benevolent Association will create an endowment for this purpose. The scholarship will be granted in future years to an Exeter High School student.

The race organizers are Brentwood community members, many of then officers and friends in the Brentwood Police Benevolent Association. Millenium Running is handling the timing logistics and reporting of results. Sponsors and registration fees have already built a substantial fund which will endow the memorial scholarship.

Join with fellow Rotarians on Saturday! Sign up, run or walk, using the web link above.
