There are 3 days until the Walkathon!

(1) Inch by inch... the latest fundraising total for this year's Walkathon is $90,000. Please help us break the $100,000 mark today by donating now at https://npo.networkforgood.org/Donate/Donate.aspx?npoSubscriptionId=7556.

(2) Of stocks and seniors: CPC staff and Council Member John Liu rang the closing bell at NASDAQ yesterday afternoon, presiding over an excellent market day (the NASDAQ composite average went up by more than one percent). Pictures and footage will be posted on the Walkathon blog at www.cpcwalkathon2008.blogspot.com. It's cool stuff; check it out when you get the chance.

(3) Three cheers for our Queens volunteers on their last day at work. These kids have raised hundreds of dollars for the Walkathon and their tabling and postering efforts throughout Flushing and the greater Queens area have been invaluable.

(4) Greeks! An Asian-interest Fraternity and Sorority have teamed up to support our Walkathon. They've agreed to donate 50% of the proceeds from a party they're holding Saturday night to support our seniors.

(5) Walking in the sun: The forecast for Saturday's weather still calls for a beautiful day with plenty of sun. Not a bad day to go for a walk across the Brooklyn Brdge.

(6) Why haven't you registered? Pre-registration continues at the Central Office (150 Elizabeth Street), and we want to keep our volunteers at the registration booths busy. It goes on from 9 to 6 every day, so why not come over today?
