All are welcome to join the Clay-Platte Trackers in
walking Wednesday mornings. Below is a schedule of walks for
October, November and December, 2007, which is subject to change due to
weather, etc. I have tried to schedule one farther away once in a
while for variety. We will be starting at 8:30 AM now that the
weather has cooled off. Check e-mails for time or call me.
If you have suggestions for favorite walks, let me
know or if you have questions, call Phyllis Gall @ 816-468-6012 or
e-mail
pegall@planetkc.com.
Also, let me know if you would like to be added or deleted from my
weekly e-mail reminder.
A
GREAT big thank you to the 15 walkers that joined me on Sunday to walk
the Riverfront Heritage Trail, in downtown Kansas City. The
sun was out and I think that everyone had a good time. I
was a little bit sore the next day, so guess that means that I need to
walk more….
This weekend walk is the Topeka YRE Birthday walk,
hopefully the weather will be good and everyone can make it down
there. I understand that there will be birthday cake and
soup after the walk. For member who have walked it in the past, I
am told that it’s a nice walk.
See the schedule below for upcoming walks.
If you are interested in going to Des Monies, let me know I have a list going and carpool can probably be figured out.
