It's almost here!

As hard as it is to believe, the walk is less than three weeks away! We are having our last big meeting Tuesday evening at 7:15 at the Beardsley Fire Hall. It would be great to have someone there from each team.

Just a few housekeeping issues -

If you have been selling luminaries, please bring your sell sheets to the meeting. The names are all being recorded on a computer this year, and we would really appreciate not having to type in 1000 names on the day of the walk!

If you or your team has a basket or item for the silent auction it would be great if you could bring it with as well.

There are still some raffle tickets available, so if you know of anyone that would like some more, please let us know.

And please don't forget that the Oldies but Goodies team will be selling root beer floats at Hartman's Super Value this Friday. Many thanks to those fabulous ladies for working so hard every holiday weekend, and also to Hartman's Super Valu for donating the ice cream & pop for this great cause!

Hope to see everyone tomorrow!

It will be here before you know it!

Our next meeting will be next Tuesday, August 9, at 7:15 at the fire hall in Beardsley. The Walk of Hope is just six weeks from today. TIME TO SELL THOSE LUMINARIES!! It's very important that every team that is planning to participate in the Walk of Hope on September 17 be represented at the meeting on Tuesday, so that luminary bags and raffle tickets can be distributed and plans can be finalized. If your team is not able to participate in the Walk, you are still encouraged to sell luminaries and raffle tickets. Thank you!


IMPORTANT: We have a new team this year: Kevin's Keepers, in honor of Kevin Homan. Kevin's Keepers will be doing a basket silent auction, so each team is asked to donate a basket for the auction. If possible, the basket can be brought to the meeting on Tuesday; otherwise, you can bring it to the September meeting. Thanks to everyone on the Kevin's Keepers team for participating in our Walk!


See you on Tuesday!
