Halloween Walk 2008
November 15th, 2008Friday, October 31, 2008
Friends & Neighbors–
I wanted to make sure I reached everyone who participated in this years walk so I am posting this just in case I missed any of you personally.
Thank you all so very much for making this years walk such a success! I was delighted at the turnout and hope it was a fun and happy evening for you all. It was a real treat and pleasure to see so many families out for the beautiful and warm autumn evening. Didn’t the kids look fabulous in their wide array of splendid costumes?!
I hope to have all the photos I took posted soon (see event photos). If you took photos and can send them to me I will try to get them posted as well. (If you don’t want them on the website, let me know and I will just add them to my personal scrapbook!)
I want to give special thanks to those of you who carved and donated your fabulously creative pumpkins to light the path - it was spectacular to see. Also big thanks to those who donated treats to eat and wear along the way. Many thanks also to our neighbor Rusty, from the membership team, who was kind enough to man the CWNA table (and took it all back to my house after we left on the walk.) EXTRA special thanks go to my Fun & Games Teammate: Dave Kahn-Pettigrew and his family, our new neighbor, Carole Dede as well as my family, Paul & Harrison for their HUGE help in getting the walk set-up on the day of the event - it wouldn’t have happened without their help. I can’t forget either, those of you who kindly lent your hands to helping clean up after the party - thank you so much! And finally, none of it would have been worthwhile if it wasn’t for YOU who came and walked! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I hope you all had a wonderful time and will join us again next year!
Warmest Regards,
Leslie
