Well, since I had to sign up as "captain" when I registered our group for the walk, I suppose I better give everyone some official info.

City: Spokane, WA
Venue: Riverfront Park
Date of Walk: 9/29/2007
Registration Start Time: 9:00 AM
Walk Start Time: 10:00 AM
Length of Walk: 3 miles



Please sign up for the walk by clicking here.


Once I had registered, some suggestions were presented to me as team captian, which I have copied here.

Step 1 - Set a Goal. Challenge yourself and your team. Decide how many walkers you want to recruit. Then, set a dollar goal for the team to raise. On average, each JDRF walker raises at least $100.

I think it would be great and feasible to have at least five people commit to this, if not ten or more. I also think that $100 dollars is not unreasonable, and don't forget to ask your employer if they would match your donation. Some companies are all about that.

Step 2 - Recruit Walkers. The Walk brings people together in a fun, healthy activity for a worthy cause. Share the excitement! "Talk Walk" with friends, family members, and co-workers. Send them this link so that they can register online for your team quickly and easily:
http://walk.jdrf.org/register.cfm?id=86817651

That link is for "The Spokantina" group. Sign up!

Step 3 - Raise Money. Teach walkers how to raise $100 in 10 days, launch a letter-writing campaign, and encourage local businesses to participate. JDRF's Walker Fundraising Kit (www.jdrf.org/fundraisingtips) is full of tips. Give your team members this Web link to share with people who want to support them with an online donation:
http://walk.jdrf.org/support.cfm?id=86817651.

Feel free to email blast that to everyone once you've signed up.

Step 4 - Be Proud. On Walk Day and beyond, experience the pride and satisfaction that comes from knowing you were an important part of a nationwide effort that raised millions of dollars to help find a cure for diabetes.

Be Proud, be costumed! Since this is the first charity event since forever our group has participated in, let's do it up right!

If you have any questions or would like Walk to Cure Diabetes materials, please contact:

Inland Northwest Branch
9 S. Washington, Ste. 704
Spokane, WA 99201

Or PM me.

This walk is on Saturday in two weeks. That is enough time if you sign up now and start getting sponsors. "Step 3" has links to good resources to help get money, use them.

Once you have signed up, please post here so we have a running list of who is involved.

Well, unless someone registers friday, it looks like just my family is doing it, but we will do it in Spokantina style! We will be walking saturday in costume so we will represent!

If anyone else does sign up (please do!), let me or The Cheeser know so maybe we could meet up before and after.

For anyone that won't be walking tomorrow, please consider sponsoring me or someone else from our group that is walking. So far that is just me and my wife.
My sponsor link is here.

Donation sent,
I had planned to walk but this turned into the week from Hell and with the other shindig tomorrow I'm kinda wiped out.
