If you want to come to the walk tomorrow, it will be at Mayes Lake off Lakeland Drive. Go down Lakeland and turn on Layfair Drive, which is next to the Shell station and across the street from the fire station. The check-in time starts at 9:00, and the walk starts at 10:00. Just fill out a form and be prepared for a little exercise! There will also be a picnic and entertainment after the walk this year, so come on down!
