When we arrived at 7:15 AM on Saturday, July 19th, for our walk, Julie had walked her usual .6 miles and had left. She still has perfect attendance. Marie was back from a wonder vacation at the Beach. Pam's training for the 3 day Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure is going well. She is getting organized for the event that takes place in October. Bonnie Fischer cut her walk short to go to the hospital to see her daughter, who had surgery. Bonnie will be away the next two weeks. She will taking care of grand children will her daughter is recuperating. The following she and AL(husband also known as Conrad) will be flying to Buffalo, New York to see family. Bonnie P. got some great pictures of sandhill cranes. She was the only walker who saw them. The rest of us were so busy talking we missed the wildlife. Pam said that Deborah got back from Las Vegas OK on Wednesday. Pam thought that Deborah would have walked today, but she had her colonosopy yesterday and maybe she was still tired from the procedure. We hope to see Deborah on Wednesday. Bonnie P. was attacked by fire ants at the end of the walk. She had to strip to get rid of the ants that had crawled up inside her pants. Mary, Pam and Marie helped Bonnie P. get her clothes off and get rid of ants. Watch the video on the blog that Tony took. It is pretty cute. Gary seems to think that A-1 sauce is good for ant bites! Everybody laughed and I don't think anyone believes that this home remedy works, except Gary. I did some searching on the Google and only found that you can use a hot jalapeño pepper sauce on a fire ant hill to kill them. There was nothing about slathering your body with A-1 Sauce to kill them or to get rid of the itching. I received an e-mail from Bonnie P this afternoon that said that when she got home form the walk she took a hot shower and put cortisone cream on and there was no itching so far.
The new t-shirts are coming along. We are going to have to go with a new vendor in order to keep the costs down. Gary is working on creating the logo to one color and making a small logo for the front. We are also looking at creating removable labels for the fronts of the T-Shirts for each Charity Event we do. They will be printed on the computer and like a stick-on name tag. We are looking at a "Safety Green Color" with black logos. They shirt will be a 50/50 blend of cotton and polyester with a tag and made by anvil. We are working also on Pam's special requirements for moisture wicking ones for the 3-day walk. When we have this pulled together and have exact price, I will put out an e--mail and take orders. I will handle it the same way as I handled the other shirts. You will pay me when you get your shirt.
We hope that group members that are planning to walk or come as a spectator in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on October 4th, in St. Petersburg, will purchase one of the new shirts, so we will all be wearing the same shirt design. We will be registering to walk as a team. The Susan G. Komen website is set up to take registrations, but the Team has to be set-up along with a captain chosen, before the members can register. The selection of a captain will need to be discussed when we meet in person. The registration fee for each team member is $30.00, as long as everybody registers by September 23rd. You can register after that but it will cost $35.00. There is no requirement to solicit donation, but they would gladly be accepted by the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Your $30.00 fee will get you an event T-Shirt. They usually have lots of vendors giving out free stuff the day of the race. This year in honor of the 10th anniversary of the Race in St. Petersburg, they are adding a 10k Run/ Walk Race. In addition to the 10k Run/Walk Race, they will have the 5K Run/Walk Race, a 1 mile Fun Run/Walk, a "Proud in the Crowd" Event and the "Sleep In for the Cure". is a $35.00 donation and they send you a pillow case that says you are slept in on October 4th. Once the Team is set up on-line I think members can register for any one of the events.
