Walk-a-thon  2005

  

What an experience!!!  Plan A:  Party house was

booked well in advance.  Due to a "computer

mal-function" the club house was DOUBLE BOOKED!

The other party would not "budge" for us to use the

club house for 5 hours. 

 

Plan B: Set into motion by Jay, with the Parks &

Rec Department of the City of Lubbock.  To you

people who do not know our part of Texas, WE HAVE

HAIL STORMS, and parts of Lubbock suffered an

enormous hail storm a couple of weeks before the

walk.  All the canopy's had been leased by Auto

Business, and Jay got busy and found one in

Levelland.  The canopy was put up late Friday

evening June 10th in a 30 mile an hour wind with

GUSTS  up to 40 mph.  We all watched in amazement,

as the canopy was raised!! City provided handicap

"port-a-potties".  Now we are ready for Sat am.

 

Bright and early The McBrooms, The Shinns,  The

Burnetts, and Patsy Colquitt arrive to  set up

for "walkers".  Weather is pleasent, gentle breeze,

and we are ready.   We had a moderate turn-out,

but great time.  Dr. Dihenia and his staff are always

there to support us and help make people aware

of Myasthenia Gravis.  We had a silent auction and

that is always fun.  Coach Bob Knight donated an

autographed basketball.  He has never turned down

our request for autographed items to help raise

funds.  He has also donated another ball, that will be

auctioned on e-bay at a later date.

 

To all that were unable to attend, you can still send

your donations to NWTC MGFA  Marvin Burnett

P. O. Box 1148 Levelland, Texas 79336.  Treasurer.

 

OK PEOPLE   REMEMBER  WE ARE GOING TO

HAVE A GOLF TOURNAMENT IN 2006, AND IT

WILL BE IN LUBBOCK.  WATCH THIS SITE FOR

PLACE AND DATE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thank you and keep walking for all the MG'ERS

who cannot walk.
