Walking and wine!

We walked 20 miles today and mostly finished up ahead of the rain. Whew! Many of us are looking ahead to next weekend already, which will be our last full weekend of training before the walk! Woo-hoo!

I'm also writing this post to mention an upcoming fundraiser: A wine and cheese tasting/silent auction! It's being put on by two of our team members, and extra funds raised will go to people still needing $.

Here are the details:
Saturday, April 21, 7:30 p.m.
Pam's house in Springfield, VA
$10 suggested donation (but there are door prizes!)

We'll have a variety of wines and cheeses, plus a boatload of cool items available for bid at the silent auction. Some of them include:

• Washington Sports Club pass
• Nationals tickets
• Solar Planet tanning certificates
• Waterford crystal ice bucket and glasses
• homemade items (totebags, earrings, a very cute baby hat)
• a Wine Lovers Gift Pack and gift certificate from Melting Pot
• restaurant gift certificates (Zola, Tabard Inn, Flemmings wine bar, Metro 29 Diner)
• ESPN Zone game cards
• gift baskets from Yankee Candle and Bath & Body Works

If you're interested in joining us, THANK YOU! And any nice, fun people you'd like to bring are welcome, too. (Just note how many people will be coming on the e-mail invitation so we have enough food and wine on hand!)

To get the evite with the full address and other details, please e-mail us (the addresses that follow are spelled out oddly to prevent spammers from finding them!). Please contact Sara (saraclarke at hotmail dot com) or Pam (pamelajohnston at yahoo dot com) ASAP.

Thanks in advance :)
