 Optionally, you can pass your own instance of Tokio runtime to the `lambda!()` macro. See our [`with_custom_runtime.rs` example](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-rust-runtime/tree/master/lambda-runtime/examples/with_custom_runtime.rs)
 
+## AWS event objects
+
+This project does not currently include Lambda event struct defintions though we [intend to do so in the future](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-rust-runtime/issues/12). Instead, the community-maintained [`aws_lambda_events`](https://crates.io/crates/aws_lambda_events) crate can be leveraged to provide strongly-typed Lambda event structs. You can create your own custom event objects and their corresponding structs as well.

 ## Custom event objects
 
 To serialize and deserialize events and responses, we suggest using the use the [`serde`](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde) library. To receive custom events, annotate your structure with Serde's macros:
