On October 15<sup>th</sup> from 3:00p.m.- 5:00p.m. We will be having a walk-a-thon to raise money for the NFB. This is part of the Coast to Coast movement and our very own Walk Across New England step challenge. Michelle Puzzo from U R Community cares has put
much effort into making this successful for us. There will be water, snacks, and some vendors. It is important that as many people from our affiliate show to walk as possible. Please share this information with your chapter members and let me know who will
attend. Attached is a better description from Micelle.</div>
