CROP Hunger Walk Volunteers

WHO: Healthy Inspirations at Club Northwest is looking for a few good women to join us in supporting a very worthy cause and participate in a 5K walk to help eliminate hunger in our community.

WHAT: CROP Hunger Walks help children and families worldwide -- and right here in the U.S. -- to have food for today, while building for a better tomorrow. Each year more than 2.5 million CROP Walkers, volunteers, and sponsors put their hearts and soles in motion, raising over $16 million per year to help stop hunger around the world -- and in their own communities.

WHEN: Sunday, October 7, 2007 at 1:00 p.m.

WHERE: Riverside Park - Registration begins at noon in the gazebo

WHY: This walk is a great way to get some exercise, bond with other Healthy Inspirations members, and give back to the community in which we live. Twenty-five percent of proceeds go to the Josephine County Food Bank and the rest goes to feed the world's hungry. And you are part of it!

HOW LONG IS A 5K? Five kilometers is approximately 3.1 miles. If you can walk a mile in 20 minutes, a 5K will probably take you between 58 and 68 minutes to complete.

HOW TO SIGN UP? If you are interested in joining the team and finding a few sponsors to support you, please print your name & phone number below.

E-mail Krissy to sign up or for more information.
