Right after her Perfect Attendance Award, Julie through out her back and missed two Saturday walks. She was back with us on Saturday, December 13th. Julie was feeling well enough to go to Pauls Ave. and back. Marie, Susan,Bonnie P. and Bonnie F. were not with us today. The Holiday Season keeps everybody busy. It was 39 degrees on the Trail on December 13th. I think was one of the coldest Saturdays we have had in 2008. Tony was very creative with the pictures and song that he used in the December 13th Walk sideshow.

We will be walking on Wednesday, December 17th at the Westfield Brandon Mall at 6:45 PM. We meet at the Food Court entrance. Last week the Holiday shoppers were not a problem. Being closer to Christmas it will be more crowded on December 17th, but I am sure we will be able to bob and weave around the shoppers. We will do the usual stop at Panera Bread for coffee and conversation after the walk.

We will be at the Brandon Parkway Trail on Saturday, December 20th at 7:15 AM. Bonnie P. and Bonnie F. will be away on the 20th. Hopefully we will have some warmer weather that day.

We are hoping that members come back after the first of the year that have not walked since the hot weather. Lately, on most Saturdays we have about 4 - 8 people. To make "2009 miles in 2009" we will have average a little less than 40 miles a week. With our low attendance on Saturdays, making 40 miles a week will probably have to add another walking day in addition to Wednesdays to get to the 40 mile a week goal. If you have suggestions on day of week and time for an additional walk, please let me know.
