Just a quick post..

to say a HUGE thank you to everyone!

*all our volunteers*
*our generous sponsors*
*family and friends who showed up early, stayed late in the soaking rain, wrangling tents, loading and unloading...*
*our walkers; the friends, family members BRS students and alumni who raised money, supported the raffle and drove from as far away as upstate NY to encourage Jeff and Janet*


The Walk was an amazing success and I'll post more details on that later!

A little bit of rain..

WILL NOT stop our party!!

We will continue as planned at the park, unless we are faced with torrential downpours tomorrow morning. No matter what, our day WILL go on! If we move indoors, the food and raffle will go on, as well as the entertainment for the kids. We'll put together some games for the younger people in the gym and the 'older' people will be able to hang out in the church hall.

IN THE EVENT OF A VENUE CHANGE:
1) I will post our final decision by 9am.
2) We will move to Haddon Heights Baptist Church/Baptist Regional School, about 1/2 mile away from the park.
3) Someone will also be at the park to let people know we've moved and to give directions as needed.

No matter what, tomorrow will be a blast.

Join us for...

Free Food & Drinks
A HUGE Raffle with something for everyone
Professional Balloon and Tattoo artist for the kids
Music
Fun & Fellowship

THE PLAN--Read through, lots of info today

In the case of rain, this is our game plan, *for now*,
all details are subject to change, at any time, on my whim. :)

1) We have tents. If the rain is mild-moderate and sporadic, we will be going forward with our outdoor event. Wear your 'play clothes' and come ready for a fun, sloshy walk with a slightly stressed out organizer.

2) In the event of torrential downpours, gale force winds or horrific rain, we will move to BAPTIST REGIONAL SCHOOL Haddon Heights campus (Haddon Heights Baptist Church). We will be monitoring the weather overnight and will make the "FINAL CALL" by 9am on Saturday. I will post here and on Facebook if things are changing. IF WE MOVE INSIDE: Obviously, there won't be much "walking", but we'll do our best to organize some games and relays for the kids in the gym. All the food and raffle event will go on as planned.

Baptist Regional School
Haddon Hts Campus
3rd & Station Avenues
Haddon Heights, NJ 08035

3) None of this matters because I'm counting on the clouds clearing, the rain staying at bay and a blast of a day.

Some details for those who need 'em:
