Spring is here!

Wow.. what a nice couple of days! I was wondering if Spring was coming or not. We sure can hope for weather like this on May 18th!

Thanks to those of you who took the poll, that's very encouraging. Of those responding to the question, most believe a cure is within the next 10 years!

What's up? Here's a list of some of the food available on walk day... Subway sandwiches, Cheese from Pace Diary, carrots/dressing & apples/dip from Reichel Foods. I also know we're out searching for banana's (but I'm not sure if we found them yet)!

You should start seeing/hearing a presence in the media as some interviews have been set up. As the dates approach I'll post here so you can be sure to listen in.

Thanks for checking in.. and we'll see you on May 18th!

Registration Forms Are Ready!

Good morning everyone... Sure hope the snow goes away by May 18th!

Registrations forms are ready and heading to the printer on Monday. If you'd like us to email a copy to you just let us know at rollandstroll@hotmail.com Additionally, we'd be happy to drop one in the mailbox for you.

There are a lot of great video's on youtube that set various walks, fundraisers to music while sharing statistics on what it means to have type 1... giving it a very personal touch. If you're looking for fundraising ideas, you might search JDRF on youtube.com Here's a link to one of the examples, but as I say, there are many. http://youtube.com/watch?v=RsUiaHmsqRc

Another Great Week

Slider is back.. he was a big hit with the kids and adults alike last year. Wow.. do you remember the games we played last year? Volunteer Frank has a way of making sure you're all winners... I'm not sure we can contain him! Goodman productions are currently working on this year's show... there's just no end to the fun!
