Great job, Lions!

You should all have received your walk bibs from City of Hope by now. Be sure and take them to the walk so that you can receive your free City of Hope white t-shirt. If you haven't received your bib, give me a call and we can check it out to make sure you get one. It will have the driving directions on it and a coupon for parking at 4 Embarcadero Center Garage.

We will be meeting between 6:45 and 7:00 at Applebee's on Saratoga Avenue at 280 and leaving for San Francisco between 7:00 and 7:15. For those of you who will drive up and not carpool with us, we will meet before the walk for a team picture. Look for the purple shirts!

Our purple District 4-C6 t-shirts have arrived and I will take them to the walk for those of you who ordered them. They are $15. If you want to get them before the walk, give us a call and you can pick them up.

IPDG Bob is threatening to wear his pink tutu and Hugh Donagher will be bringing his pink beads. We'll have our pink hair spray and boas, too. Even though this is for a serious cause, there's no reason we can't have fun and stir things up. Wear funny hats or bobbles on your head, angel wings, whatever. Some of the walks I've been on have had some outrageous costumes. This is great publicity for District 4-C6 Lions.

Last year at this time, if you look in the archives of this blog, you'll see that on September 30 we had $5,932 and this year we show $9,570 with almost $2,000 in the pipeline (sent to LA for processing), a total of over $11,000. We have done phenomenally well, and I am so proud and grateful to you for making this a success. We have gone ABOVE AND BEYOND last year. Congratulations, Lions! We have until the end of the year to make our donation to City of Hope larger and perhaps BEAT Gallo Sales.
