The weather’s warming up, the sun is shining, and you’re anxious to get outside and do something.  Well, here are a couple of upcoming events that take care of the “do something” part.

The MS Walk is Saturday, May 1, starting at Central Middle School.  The official Walk begins at 10 am with registration at 9.  If you’re interested in being on the Spacewalkers’ team, a signup sheet will be available next week on the refrigerator in the kitchen.  I will be happy to register you or you can log on to the link here and set up your own participant page to record pledges and payments. 

The Walk is a gentle 3-mile hike that winds through tree-lined neighborhoods and culminates in a group brunch after the event.  Load up the kids, tie on your tennies, and hit the road to raise money to fight MS!  If you are unable to make the event, please support another team member by making a pledge.  Last year the Midland event raised over $50,000 to provide research, medical supplies, and services to people with MS. 

On May 19th you can find the SPACE team cleaning roadsides surrounding the Chippewa Nature Center.  This has become our annual Spring and Fall Day of Caring event as we’ve worked at the Nature Center for the past 7 years or so.  As usual, the Center will provide pizza and beverages following our labors.  Last Fall we cleaned the entire Wetlands perimeter as well as Pine River Road from Patterson to Huber.  So far this year we’ve already got 12 team members signed up so we should be done in record time.  Way to go, Team!
