2014 Immediate Impact Walk Kick-Off Party

I pretty much hit the ground running as soon as I landed in SF. My Gay Boyfriend picked me up from SFO (thanks, Bro), we had a quick lunch at Chipotle on our way home, then I had a few minutes at home before it was time to head out again.

We had the Kick-off Event for the 2014 Immediate Impact Walk at the Press Club Wine Bar in San Francisco today. It was a really great event - many of the walkers were there, as well as representatives from local beneficiaries. It was a great chance to have new people come who are interested in joining our walk to have a chance to talk with everyone, have questions answered, and to get more information. We had a few new people sign up - very exciting, and many more who are interested.

We had a really great turn out. The Press Club donated 10 percent of the final tab to the General Fund of our walk. Last I heard, we raised more than $1,000!

Linda and Tina organized a nice raffle drawing, and there was a representative from Stella and Dot selling jewelry (of which part of the sales were also donated to the walk).

It was a great event, and a great way to start us off on our new season. Our first training walk is next weekend!
