Abq Breast Cancer Walk-Team Mos Alba!

yea my mom's been sick so she has not made it to work with my Donations package

 

um, bob what is up with your name? its gone?

very cool! i can't wait for the walk, i think we will have a great time!

 

Eh? What do you mean?

 

don't know for some reason before you posted today nothing was there for your name... it was very off, no title icon or nothing...

I also just noticed we are at 450.00 at the moment, I better hurry Bob is out raising me!

 

Hmmm, I guess it seems to be okay.

And yeah, Varza, I am outraising ya! And that's only the donations that I've gotten the money in hand and that's only about 1/2 the people I'm trying to extort!

 

okay time for me to track some people down now... good thing i will be at the other store tomorrow they owe me mulla there big time.

 

Alrighty. I have one vote for starting at 9am. How's that sit with everyone else?

 

9 sounds good to me, but where do we meet at?

 

9am is perfect for me. I think we are starting outside either dillards or the food court at Cottonwood Mall. How are we meet outside the movie theater at 9am then we can make our way over the the actual sign in? Or would you rahter meet up at say 8:45am?

 

9am works for me, unless you want to meet earlier!

 

don't think i can make it any earlier. i am not a morning person... wish they would do these walks at night time.

 

I posted an announcement about the walk on Fanforce which you can read here:

Strides against Breast Cancer

And I posted your meeting information here:

April 18th Meeting

If you need me to make any changes or additions to the two articles above, just let me know, it is not a problem. Since I can't walk with you guys, I am going to donate $25 to the general club fund. Get another $25 and you will have reached your goal. Good luck!

 

Rock on, MJF!!!!!

 

thank you so much Mara Jade!!

 

Usually, I'm not one to boast, but check out our Team Page at the Making Strides site.

BOOOYAH!!!!!

 

I donated 15.00 dollars and added my pledges to the side, bringing our total to $605.00

 

What can I say....MJF...your awesome! That looks so sweet!

 

Thank you so much MJF!

 

so does the walk start at 8 or 9?

Or do we just walk whenever we get motivated to do so? (note to self: get grande latte...)

 

I think we are planning on meeting up at 9ish.

See you at Making Strides Against Breast Cancer! You are truly making a difference.

 

Do you think they'll create a ruckus if I bring my wagon with kids in tow? Or should I raise a ruckus?

 

i think you should raise a ruckuss... bring it and a stroller just in case maybe?

changed the colour-didn't realize you couldn't read it before.

 

Hey ya'll!
I have collected 75.00 so far and will probably have a $100 by Sunday. I will probably have my hubby drop me off as parking will get very bad in the early morning.
I was warned by someone who did this walk before and she said the traffic backs up on Coors for people driving to Cottonwood. So, I will probably have my hubby drop me off around 8:45 or so. I say let's meet close to where the registration is. Do we know where that is at? Are we going to get the t-shirts there? I kind of wanted to put it on before I get there, as I don't want to wear two t-shirts, if you know what I mean. It's going to be around 70 degrees and breezy, but when you are walking you get hotter quicker.
Any thoughts?

 

Hi Skyra! Glad to see you back online! Julie told me you were having sign in problems or something...

So does anyone know exactly where the sign-in area is at?

 

The shirts just got printed... I'm going to head out to get them in about an hour or so. If you want to pick yours up (today or saturday), PM for my address and or directions. and I don't have any change, so try and bring the $13... I'm not much of a cash person, all yoda credit card for me...
