Fundraiser at Frankie's Pub

Last Saturday night's raffle and Chinese auction held at Frankie's Pub in Eastlake was a huge HUGE success. Carol was able to raise all the money she needed to walk in this one event. Great job Carol getting everyone out and kudos to Maria who provided plenty of assistance. Most of all a huge thank you to everyone who came out to support the walk. As you can see fundraising can be lots of fun too!!!

3 Day Training Event at Aurora Farms

Angela, Maria and I met bright and early last Saturday morning to walk 10 miles around Aurora Farms. This was an official 3Day Training event and there were about 12 of us walking. It was amazing how fast the 10 miles went by. It makes such a huge difference when you have people talking and laughing. We even had a few crew members cheering us on; blowing bubbles, waving signs, handing out stickers and suckers. It was a little taste of things to come. When we were done with the official walk we were treated with a VIP shopping package filled with coupons for the shops. This of course gave us all the incentive we needed to add an 11th mile (of shopping)!
