My Dad and I had a great trip walking the capitols on our way back from Seattle.  I have more pictures at:

The Ann Arbor event hosted by the Washtenaw Wanderers drew over 300 walkers, almost 70 of them getting credit!  I saw Eunice, Joan and Valerie.  I'm sure more of you were there, I just didn't get to see you in the crush.

THIS SUNDAY is our Port Huron event!  Dot and Rudy will be staying at the Comfort Inn on Saturday night.  John, Frances, Harris and I and our new beagle, Chloe, will be staying at the AmeriHost Inn.

Dot needs to fill out the volunteer assignments, and here's what I think we have so far . . .

Trail Marker set up - walk at 8:30 am Joan, Dot and Dawn
Morning Check Point - 9:30 - 12:30 Rudy (at 5K) and ? (at 2.5 K)
Registration 8:30 - 10:30 Chelane and ?
Registration 10:30 - 12:30 Eunice, Stefan
Afternoon Check Point - 12:30 - 3:30 Darrell (at 5K) and ? (at 2.5K)
Registration 12:30 - 2:30 Joan, Dot
Registration 2:30 - 4:30 Chelane, Nancy
Trail Marker take down - walk at 1:15 Eunice, Stefan 

Contact Dot if you would like to fill in any of the blanks.  She also needs to know if you are going to bring any snacks to reward our financial donors.  I think Joan is going to make trail mix, I'm planning on lemon squares, and Eunice mentioned brownies.  We'll need other choices.  We'll also need something at the 5K checkpoint like cookies or bags of Chex Mix or something like that.

See you in Port Huron on Sunday, May 21!
