LINDA'S TEAM, Part 3.

Linda & Carolyn, the '70s look.

Are they sisters, or what?

I think we have it all figured out.  On Sunday, July 22^nd, Linda’s Team (meaning all of you who can come) will gather at Marine Park in Bellingham.  I have the shelter reserved for four hours: 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.   As we are having this event in lieu of driving to Seattle to do the Summerun (starting at 8:15 am!) some of you may want to do a run or walk.  We suggest walking/running from Marine Park into Fairhaven, then taking the trail to Boulevard Park – and back.  That should be about 3 miles or so.  Those of you who don’t feel athletic can just hang around the shelter and help me put things together.  We can eat around noon. 

The following items will be provide:.  Hotdogs, buns, and a grill or two to cook them on.  Also, the usual condiments.  Soda, plates, utensils, cups.  Potato salad.  And lots of good cheer.  We’d like to make this a potluck, so bring anything else you think might be enjoyable – including healthier stuff to grill, if hotdogs don’t strike you as health food.  We have the place until 2:00 pm, so we can sit, talk, and drink more pop.    Excellent weather is guaranteed.

As this is a fund-raiser for the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research, please consider doing  the following*.  Go to http://www.summerun.org/.  Punch the button “Donate”.  When asked where you want your donation to go, choose “Linda’sTeam”.  Choose the amount you want to donate, feed them your credit card number, and hurray: you are an unofficial member of the team.  Note, do not “JOIN” the team.  If you do they will use part of your donation to pay for the hoopla accompanying the event.  As we are not going to get to enjoy the hoopla, we don’t need to pay for it.  If anybody tries this and it doesn’t work, please tell me and I will try to figure out what I told you wrong.

As with most events, there is a T-shirt.  And, as with most things in life, it costs money:  $22 to be exact.  (If we get lots of orders it will be slightly less.)  The T-shirt was designed by Carolyn and is gorgeous – and in teal, the official color of ovarian cancer.  To see the shirt and order, go to http://www.customink.com/signup/11nscvbr.  The deadline for ordering is July 1^st.  To pay for your shirt, either send the money to me or to Carolyn and we promise to get it to the shirt people. 

We (Carolyn, Florence, Myrl) hope to see you there, and those of you who can’t make it will be missed.

*Note that you can donate and not come, or vice versa.
