Calling All Parrot Heads!!!!!!
We're calling all Parrot Heads to come out and walk as an important part of "Team ParrotHead" to help raise money for a local organization, the Zonta Club of Key West. Zonta is holding their annual "ABC 5K Run/Walk" on Saturday, November 1st. This organization raises money to cover mammograms, thin-prep pap tests, other diagnostic test and preventive measures for uninsured and underinsured women. Monroe County has some of the highest incidence of breast cancer, because of so many workers living there who have no healthcare. To find out more about Zonta Key West, please visit www.zontakeywest.com
Put On Your Walking Shoes and Help Us Stomp Out Breast Cancer!!!!! Saturday, November 1, the run/walk will begin and end at Salute Restaurant, 1000 Atlantic Blvd., just around the corner from the Casa Marina tennis courts. Registration begins at 7:00 AM. The event starts at 8:00 AM and the course is only 3 short miles. For everyone's entertainment, we will have live music begin playing at 8:30 am and will continue until we all cross the finish line. What a great way to show our support on the last big day of MOTM. Yes, it will mean getting up a wee bit early, but being the Parrot Heads we all are...that surely will not stop us from "Walking For A Purpose." Pre-registration fee is $20.00. On Site Registration is $25.00. Want to Pre-Register? Click here to download the Zonta Walk Registration Form. Mailing information is on the form. Make sure you add your Club Name next to "Team Parrothead.". Pre-registration deadline is Monday, October 27, 2008. Sorry… Thursday, October 30, Pre-Registration at the Casa Marina Resort & Beach Club is available only to the MOTM Registered. In addition to the on-site registration at the Casa on Thursday, you can also pre-register at Salute Restaurant on Friday, October 31, from 4 PM - 6 PM or on the morning of the event. On-Site Registration Fee: $25.00. If you are unable to walk or planning to walk and would still like to get involved by assisting with the "on the scene" activities for the walk, Please contact Susan Richardson, "Team Parrot Head" Coordinator, at jsrclearwater@aol.com. Our theme this year for our "Team Parrot Head" at the Zonta ABC 5K Run/Walk is "Corner of Walk and Don't Walk." Now you ask, "What does "Corner of Walk and Don't Walk" mean to you? Do you plan to walk this year? If so, then stepping off the corner with us.... Do you plan to stay on the corner and "don't walk?" Well, either way, you can be an impoortant part of our success this year. If you are a "walk" participant.... Then start planning a strategy to raise some monies to be added to our overall "Team Parrot Head" total. If each walker would raise a little money then we will contribute a sizeable amount as "Team Parrot Head." If you are not planning to walk or not attending MOTM this year... then find someone in your club that is planning to attend MOTM and encourage them to "walk" ..then support them by helping them raise maybe an amount of 50.00(or whatever amount you determine). One idea is to have one 50/50 and designate it to your "walker" from your club. If not a 50/50 ...then just pass the hat and collect monies that way at one of your happy hours/phlocking. As you can see as a "Don't Walk" participant you can be an important part of our success too. "Indecision may or may not be my problem" is not the answer I hope you will take regarding this year's "Team Parrot Head" .. hopefully you will choose "walk or don't walk" ...and show your continue support of this wonderful worthwhile cause/charity at MOTM 2008. In addition to the prizes awarded by Zonta after the walk, there will be a prize for the Parrot Head Club that donates the most money to the event and a prize for the Individual that donates the most money to the event. Cancer has touched us all in one way or another within our families or friends. Please help us show the residents of Key West that we care. If you have any other questions please contact me at jsrclearwater@aol.com We hope to see you at the starting line on Saturday, November 1st. FINS UP!!!
