            3:00 PM Sign-in and on-site Activities

• Invite at least one first time Walker with you!

• Bring one/two cans of protein food (tuna, chicken, peanut butter) to donate to God's Pantry Food Bank.
• New design 2018 Walk T-shirts will be sold for $12.00; prior years' for $8.00.
• Bring LOTS of posters to carry while walking.  A poster-making station will also be on-site to create more posters between 3-3:25.
• Online REGISTRATION and DONATION encouraged!  which makes Walk Day check-in easier!
• ALL hard copy Registration Sheets (statement of consent listed on each sheet) turned in Walk Day MUST be completed in full (as instructed at our Rally).
• Volunteer Crossing Guards will be located at 5 major intersections.  Everyone will adhere to ALL traffic lights, NO jaywalking,  follow the WALK SIGNS posted along 3 mile route AND stay on the sidewalks!   NO bikes, NO skateboards, NO scooters allowed.  Strollers, wagons, dogs OK.
• Physical limitations? Plan to Walk 'just part of route'?  Need a lift? Plan to Ride the Walk on 2nd Presbyterian's bus. Lakshman will make frequent stops.
• The Walk will be held if light rain; of course cancelled if storming.

       Acutely aware that thousands of our Carolina and Philippine neighbors are suffering from recent tragic storms/flooding our Walk funds may be used, if needed, to assist with recovery efforts.  When people can't recover quickly from disasters, they are vulnerable to hunger and poverty. Therefore, let us be more steadfast and diligent as we continue our fund raising efforts! This is not the time to 'ease-up' asking our families, friends, co-workers, neighbors, club members to donate to our Walk Mission: to bring gifts of HOPE, share HELP, restore Dignity to all God's children in need of the most basic human rights.

         We are Walking Together and Making a Difference!
         Peace, Joy and Love,
