Things are Moving Forward

The meeting with Dr. Henry seemed to go well. He's very supportive and has promised to place trash bins outside his two clinics for our aluminum cans. He is going to discuss our walk and our plans for the nonprofit status with his staff to see how they can best help us out. He even mentioned having a member of his staff walk with us, which would be awesome.

We're working on creating our official logo. Once that is done, we will be offering shirts and stuff for sale with our logo and info about our walk. The money raised through sale of merchandise will go toward costs associated with the walk and achieving nonprofit status.

There are expenses related to literally planning the walk that will need to be paid for or reimbursed from our very limited budget, such as the cost of printing flyers, sponsorship forms and informational materials. Plus, we will need to buy our own shirts before the walk, in order to better advertise and gain more support. We're hoping to get donations from local businesses for things such as good walking shoes, an abundant supply of water to drink, snacks for the end-of-party walk, gas money for our daily drivers, etc.

There's still lots of details to work out, but we ARE moving in the right direction and receiving positive feedback, too!
