    Hey gang - Is there a designated meeting place for us before the walk? I am new to the group, and will be driving up from Port Charlotte in the morning, and would like to be able to meet some people. Also, any suggestions for parking in the area? Thanks!

      “ Because it really really inspires very important changes regarding actual and local issues. The more Awareness is brought to the public with legible printed posters, the faster changes will happen. The affirmative feed-back from passing traffic is rewarding for the walkers and stresses the importance of getting the public involved. ”
    • “ Helthy Walking.Thanks to the Organizers. The Organizers and Michelle did a wonderful job. ”
