(This is
just a small sample of the many notes we received from walk
organizers when they returned their walk event report forms
to us.)
We finished the "Walk" today with more
than usual number of Cub Scout participants to the usual
"Pack Hike". We all had a great time. Thanks for allowing us
to be involved in a great program. I hope all your events go
well for everyone this week as it did for us -- Good luck!
I’m very excited to tell you that we
had 25 walkers, which was more than we anticipated! Everyone
had a great time, the weather couldn’t have been better, and
the walk around the lake provided some beautiful views. Best
of all, everyone had so much fun that we’re talking about
getting a group together on a weekly basis to walk.
The walk went well- Families had fun
and are eager to do it next year and many have started to
start their own personal walking program.
The folks who participated really
enjoyed it. The local grade school did a walk last week for
the Walk NH so I am hoping that next year we can partner the
school and get families involved.
Our first attempt to walk was foiled
by a bear in the cemetery on our route so we were ushered
back into the school. Our walk took place on a misty, wet
afternoon, but we all enjoyed the event.
We were very pleased with the turnout we had for our first
time and are looking forward to celebrating Walk NH Week
next year.
We had a great time! We gave out an
IPOD shuffle and four $25 gift certificates as prizes.
Thanks and we hope to do this again next year…
We had a beautiful day for our walk quite a few people came
and picked up information (they were at a OSHA work seminar
and had a break) and asked about WALK NH . We even had
people from New York who came to walk that were looking for
things to do in NH on the community calendar. Thank you so
much for making this happen, hopefully next year more people
will join us.
We will be walking once a week for the
summer and early autumn.
The girls were funny- they actually enjoyed walking and
racing each other around the track! I am going to plot out
some other routes for the summer and do some scavenger hunts
as well- it will work towards some badge activity too!
Thanks for getting us started! SUBSEQUENT E-MAIL SAID: There
are more girls coming for our now instituted weekly walks
for the summer. I also had several adults come walk for
their first time ever! Thank you for the prizes- The kids
thought the T-shirts were Great!
The weather was perfect and the walk
was thoroughly enjoyed by all! Lots of our walkers asked
“When are we going to do this again?!” The hats, T-shirts
and water bottles were a big hit and lots of students are
walking around proudly wearing their Walk NH stickers!
Thanks you for the support.
Rain did not stop the WWW, Wonderful Women Walking Group
from completing their 1.5 mile walk on June 6, 2008. The
group has been walking together every Friday morning for ten
years.
We didn’t have as many as we hoped,
but had a great time and ideas for next year.
Thank you so much for the t-shirts,
water bottles and hats. We gave 10 water bottles away a day
via raffle and staff raffle items given away daily. It was
so much fun.
Thanks again, looking forward to next year.
