I have a patch design for the award for the Holly SRA event. I am waiting on comment from Hiking Michigan before I incorporate it into the brochure. If you have any comments, let me know!
Due to the heat, the test walk for Howell has been RESCHEDULED for Saturday, August 5th at 10 am. Please come join us! From I-96, take exit #137, go north on Michigan Ave. Turn left on Grand River Ave (96-B). Turn right on Byron. McPherson Hospital will be on the left. *Note that Historic Pathwalkers may submit the route they developed for a previous Balloon Rally event as a Howell YRE. If they do, we will file our route for reference, and if they don't we'll submit ours..
The walk in Marshall was hot, but fortunately there was plenty of shade. I had the pleasure of walking with Wilma and Willa (as I was late and they were just a little later.) I saw Eunice' name in the registration book, but we didn't meet up. I hope to see you at our walk and semi-annual meeting in Charlotte on Saturday, August 12. We'll be setting our group walk schedule for the next 6 months, and taking ideas for regular events in 2007. So, if you want to put your 2 cents in, please come! If you can't make the walk at 10 am, but want to join us for the meeting, we'll be at Gavel Restaurant & Lounge at 1 pm. I met one of the officers of Great Lakes Organization of Walkers, Mandy. Mandy is the director of the Monroe Blueberry Fitness Expo on the weekend of August 19 & 20. She is offering us a free booth space if we would like to be there to talk about AVA and GLA with the folks who are interested in non-competitive walking. I can't be there because that's Harris' weekend celebrating his 9th birthday. I'll supply whoever wants to volunteer with a table, chairs, the AVA banner, my 2006 Start Point, a supply of brochures, some issues of The American Wanderer and some New Walker Packets. Let me know if you are interested! Chelane Previous Newletters
