Hopelink Turkey Trot in Kirkland- Nov 19th

On Sunday November 19th, Hopelink will hold its annual "Turkey Trot" fun walk to raise money for providing meals to families in need over the holidays.  Last year, they were able to help over 2100 families!  And this year, especially with added costs when Hopelink was forced to move (due to an infestation), they need our help more than ever. 

Prior to the walk, participants are invited to breakfast at the Wilde Rover.  Then at noon registration starts and the walk begins at 1pm.  Expect to see face  painters and a 15 person jazz ensemble at the finish line.  The 5K (3 mile) route takes you from Marina Park to Carillon Point and back.  Even my three year olds could do that!   And what a great cause- I know sometimes we get so busy, but this is a great time to remember that the holidays are about sharing and giving to others.

Pre-registration ( by 11/17) is $20/person or $15/person if you have at least a 4 person team.  Day of event registration is $25/person and $20/person on a team.  Go the extra mile- if you collect pledges for greater than $100 or dress up in costume, you'll be entered in a drawing to win some cool prizes that have been donated by local restaurants, hotels and shops. Any turkeys out there? See pic above- fun turkey hats will be for sale if you're feeling game-y (ok, that was lame).

You can shoot any questions you have or offers to help to Patrick Tippy at patrickt@hope-link.org or 425-869-6000.           ~Janis

This sounds like great fun for a good cause! Love the turkey hats. Pity I am in South Africa. We should try something similar here.
