We had our first official team meeting today! It is really exciting to see how much our team has grown since last year. We recently had two more officially register on our team (congratulations to Kelly and Janine Shockley. We also had people at our meeting today who are planning to register to walk with us but who haven't signed up yet. Right now it looks as though we will have about 11 or 12 walkers on our team. What a huge jump from last year! I think that once word got out about the walk and they heard how much fun we had supporting it, that it was hard not to become involved, it really is an amazing experience!
With such a large team that means that our fund raising needs to be B-I-G this year. Last year we primarily asked for personal donations from family and friends. Seeing how this may become a yearly tradition we hate to ask those same people again for their generous donations. So, at the meeting today we came up with some great ideas for how we are going to raise money for our team. With each walker needing to raise $2,000 we have to be creative and reach out to our community. I'm really excited about the ideas that we have come up with. Stay tuned because as they get planned you won't want to miss out on the fun!
If you would like to join us, our first team walk is April 18th at 3pm. We will walk approximately 4 miles. We would love to have you walk with us, even if you aren't planning on joining the team (dogs are always welcome)!
