VI-4
I am writing to you today to request a permit to hold an MS Walk in the city of Hastings for
2008.
The Walk takes place the first Sunday in May (5-3-09), and is held throughout the US. In past
years we have participated in the Red Wing Walk, but feel that Hastings would be a perfect
place to host the walk. We have contacted the MS Society and would be working along their
guild lines.
The location would be the American Legion for both registration and completion of the walk.
The walk would be along the Hastings walking path. Lunch and some entertainment would be
provided after the walk. Entertainment consists of karaoke, live singers, neck massages, and
other things along the same line. The walk starts at 9:00 am and would wrap up by 2:00 pm.
During the walk a few golf carts would be checking on all participants and check points. They
provide rides back to the legion for those who cannot complete the walk. Check points consists
of water bottles and snacks, along with chairs to sit and take a break. Two adults would be at
each check point helping participants and taking care of any garbage. We would provided all
clean up and lavatory services.
We feel this would benefit many, not only nationwide, but many within our own city. I would
be the event coordinator and main contact person. Thank you for your time and consideration
of this matter.
Sincerely,
Tim Leahy
