A few of these walks have chairpersons, most need chairpersons and co-chairs  Please come to a meeting and offer to chair a walk.  If you are new at it, we will help you by teaming you with someone who has done it before.  This is a wonderfully aggressive year and we could use all of your help.  If you just would like to co-chair please let John know.  Thank you in advance for your help and support.
