Details for walk and our team's BBQ
(Not registered yet? Go to www.tiny.cc/PresbyteriansFightingAIDS)
Our team, called Presbyterians Fighting AIDS, is assigned to Box 7,
near other large teams. We are by the panhandle entrance to Golden
Gate Park, and near the starting line, NOT the stage area. I will
post a map on the church blog. Please print
out the map and circle Box 7. If you get lost, go to the TEAM
Information Booth for help. The map is also shown on the
website. Awards
If you have checks to turn in, or have collected over $150 from
sponsors and want to pick up your awards, stop by the Sign-In area
first (look for the big Sign-In banner). Then go to Box 7. Sign-In
opens at 9 AM, and the opening ceremony is at 9:45. We'll head
towards the starting line around 10:15. If you plan to come late, go
to Box 7 and we will have team members waiting there to greet you,
"guard" excess clothing, and start our team's post-walk BBQ. Getting there
We recommend taking public transportation (Muni 71 Haight Noriega, or
N- Judah go near Sharon Meadow; call 311 for Muni info). However, if
you must drive, the UCSF Parnassus lot will have a special rate for
the event until they fill up sometime after 9 AM. Arriving early is
no problem, since we will set up the BBQ equipment very early, before
it gets crowded with 25,000 walkers. Getting sponsors
Whether you are participating in person, or are an absentee Virtual
Walker, there is still time to get sponsors (or sponsor yourself).
Remember that cash/check donations have no minimum. Only the credit
card online donations have minimums (to cover bank fees). Take
advantage of the Facebook and Twitter apps. Each registered walker
has their own fundraising webpage on the
website, and should have received an individual logon ID and password. Team BBQ
For those who are able, please bring your own meat for our team's
post-walk BBQ at Box 7. We'll store it while we're walking the 10 km,
and some members of our team have volunteered to help "guard" food and
clothing while we walk. Also, if possible, please bring either a
breakfast item or a lunch side dish to share. There will be space at
the team box to put out food. However, since we expect warm weather,
if you bring somethng perishable, please bring it in an ice chest so
that it does not spoil in the sun. BBQ RSVP
So that we don't end up with with ten packages of the same food item,
please let us know what breakfast item or lunch side dish you plan to
bring, by either emailing or writing on the
Facebook wall. Similarly, questions can be directed to Marc
by the same methods. MBCC will provide plates, utensils, drinks, and
condiments, plus the BBQ grill. What to wear
Dress in layers. It may get hot this weekend. Use lots of sunscreen!
Thank you for your support of AIDS Walk San Francisco. See you on
Sunday at Golden Gate Park! Peace,
Marc

if t-shirts are a bit costly,
1) what about buttons or
2) what about using the shirts as a fundraiser for aidswalk so it's not all out of pocket?
