Spring has sprung, dearest hotties, and it is time once again to dust
off our walking shoes. This is the seventh year of the hotties walking
and crewing and volunteering and walker stalking! Last year was
amazing with $424,870.23 raised for the 3 Day and the Avon Walk and
thousands of lives touched; maybe we'll hit $500K this year!?

Let’s start the walk season by stretching our legs with a 6 mile walk
on Sunday, April 5th at 8:30am meeting at the Warming Hut. And, as
always, please RSVP if you are coming out.

April & May training walks are up on our website and will be posted to
the Avon and 3 Day sites soon. We will be leading walks only on
Sundays before we start back-to-back Saturday/Sunday training walks in
late May. The training this season is geared to the SF 3 Day in
October. Our Avon Walkers will have the option to take self-led second
loops if they feel the need to increase mileage in conjunction with
their training needs.

We’ll of course need route support for walks 12 miles and over. Shoot
and email if you want to sign up to provide route support for a walk.
We are also working on a plan to address the problem of overwhelming
walk turnout. If attendance grows again this year to over 40-45 people
on a walk we may have two training walks on Saturdays with staggered
start times

Even if you are not planning on walking this year there are numerous
ways to be involved with the events, the hotties and our community -
reach out & stay connected!

In Our Lifetime received non-profit status in October (hurrah!) and
will be sending/posting more info regarding ways to be involved. We
will be seeking committee heads and members for various “tasks”
related to running training training walks, organizing clinics, team
activities, implementing/managing our walker mentor program “Shoulder
to Shoulder”, and our BUST it out! fundraiser.

This year we also plan to host our some of our clinics (will be posted
on the training walk page on the website when confirmed):

May – shoe fit
June – stretching for endurance walking
July – pacing for endurance & strength/walking form techniques
August – Back to Back weekend

See you on the road & be well. Here's to another fantastic year!

Linda





Other immediate needs:

help updating our website (we'd love to have a calender which
enables people to RSVP directly on the site)

outreach and letter writing to get the word out about the Shoulder
to Shoulder program.

grant research & writing for In Our Lifetime

wish: donated storage space/small workspace for all of our hottie
stuff, training walk supplies (water, etc.) in the Marina, Presidio or
very close by with 24 hour access.
