THANK YOU

Team E-mail #8

Dear FEET 2 BEAT MS Team Member:

Thank you, thank you, thank you !! Thank you to all who walked this past weekend. Although I don’t have our team numbers yet, I want to share with you some facts, figures, pictures, and good news.

First, the #1 question that I am getting through a lot of e-mails since the walks:

If I have more money to turn in, where do I send it?

Answers from www.marylandmswalk.org FAQs:

Q: Who do I make checks payable to?

Please make all checks payable to National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Q: Where do I send my pledge money?

Your donations can be mailed at anytime to:

National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Maryland Chapter
Attn: Walk MS
11403 Cronhill Drive, Suite E
Owings Mills, MD 21117

Important Note – Make sure you put a note that states, “Please post to FEET 2 BEAT MS (Cambridge or Annapolis or Westminster or Towson) Team and your name or whoever.

Money is actually counted towards our team until JUNE 1^st.

Second most popular question:

How much did we raise ??

Answer – we only know how much ALL the teams raised at each location at this point because the money has not been posted to the individual teams. And, money is still coming in so as soon as I know something, I’ll let you know.

Pictures

As you can imagine, the walks are successful because of many people and businesses behind the scenes doing their part. So, there are many people to thank not shown below. These are just a few I captured the day before the walk from Cambridge:

E.S. Hubbert & Son

(Thank you for selling feet and your weekend donations)

Center Market

(Thank you for donating the fruit and water)

K&K Kones

(Thank you for selling feet and volunteering on Sunday)

And, a special THANK YOU to DAVE & GENA at Bay Country Bakery. Here is the rest of the story. Bay Country Bakery is closed on Sunday. Dave & Gena got a babysitter for Saturday night so that they could both come in on their only day off at 3:00 AM to make 30 (yes, thirty) dozen donuts. And, there were different kinds of donuts – not just one kind. This is on top of the wall of feet sold (see below) by their great employees. Please stop by and thank them when you get a chance.

And of course, thank you to all who gave up Church, their Sunday activities, their money, and their time to join us. I really appreciate it.

And, We are NOT done !

Monday, I shipped 30 shirts to our Irvine, California team and 7 shirts to our Ogden, Utah team for this coming Saturday. Some of you know I had to fly to St. Louis, MO Monday for work. I was wondering, When is their walk? And, here is the strange part. I found out that tomorrow night (Thursday), St. Louis does their annual “Steppin Out Night Walk for MS” starting right down the street from my hotel. I will be there. See link:
