261.1I walked in Nashua on 4/17/88CADSE::WILLIAMSTue Apr 19 1988 10:1012
    Well I won't be able to do the walk for hunger...Sunday committments.
    But I did the March of Dimes Walk America on 4/16...through the
    snow and the rain, about 200 people walked the streets, and woods
    of Nashua New Hampshire...for 12 miles...it was fun...
    
    Also for those in the Mass. Area the March of Dimes Walk America
    is April 24th....again on a Sunday...contact 617 329-1360 for a
    sponsor sheet and starting times...Good luck..and have fun in whichever
    walk you do....

261.2Let's do it!JJM::ASBURYTue Apr 19 1988 11:1125
    Hi,
    
    (Linda, As you know from the mail I sent you, you can count me in.)
    I just wanted to let other noters know that this is a really
    terrific thing to do...for many reasons.
    
    First of all, for any of you who are not familiar with this, it
    is an annual event in Boston. It is a 20 mile walk around the city.
    You have people sponsor you $?? per mile you walk. The money is
    used by Project Bread to support places in and around Boston that
    feed the hungry. (Park Street Church, for example.) I have more
    info at home, if anyone is interested.
    
    I walked last year and loved it. I loved the way I felt afterward,
    both physically (very tired, but in a good way) and mentally. It
    felt good to be helping other people by raising money for a cause
    which I believe to be worthy.
    
    Anyway, if any of you think you might like to do this, but you need
    a little more convincing, just get in touch with me. (as you can
    tell, I am very much for this! and excited about it.)              
    
    -Amy.
         

261.3hi again...JJM::ASBURYWed Apr 20 1988 07:0616
    Hello again, all,
    
    I just wanted to say that if any of you are interested in supporting
    this cause but are unable to walk (for whatever reasons), one way
    to do this is to sponsor someone who *is* walking. Please get in
    touch with either Linda (.0) or me (or anyone else you know who
    will be walking) **if you are interested...**
    
    Please understand that I am in no way pressuring anyone to do anything
    they don't want to do. Just providing some direction in case you
    *are* interested.
    
    Happy spring to all!
    
    -Amy.
