Not to change the subject...
If you had fun at the Walkathon, definitely mark down Thursday, September 18th in your calendar. That's the date of CPC's "Rebuild Sichuan" dinner, which will raise money for victims of the massive earthquake in China this past May. To learn more, click here.

Thank you!
What a day! The steamy weather didn't deter thousands of folks from making the biennial pilgrimage across the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday, and tens of thousands of dollars from being raised for our seniors. Pictures, stories, and wrap-ups to come soon. Stay tuned!

The Walkathon is tomorrow!
(1) This is it! We've been preparing for months to make tomorrow as much fun for everyone as possible-- now you just need to show up. Please, if you are reading this e-mail, be at Columbus Park tomorrow at 10 am.
(2) As if you needed any more incentive: tomorrow's program is filled with interesting guests and fun activities. We have several city officials slated to attend, including two borough presidents, a congresswoman, and (drumroll please) Grand Marshal John Liu. More than that, the New Jersey Nets will have a table at the Family Day Fair. If you want tickets to see their new star, Yi Jianlian, this may be your chance.
(3) It's official: the weather tomorrow will be beautiful. (In case you are wondering, the chance of any sort of precipitation is 20%-- so it may be a good idea to show up).
(4) Bring water! We'll have water for everyone, but remember, it's a long walk. Grab a Poland Spring on your way out.
(5) Our thanks to all of our volunteers, who have put in the hours to make tomorrow the best Walkathon ever. We couldn't have done it without you.
(6) See you tomorrow at 10!
