Human Race Winners
Many people pledged for the Human Race last May. The pledges ranged from small to large and every penny is important to Chapter causes. A big THANKS goes to those who pledged and those who ran or walked for the Chapter. You brought in $2000 and were true pioneers in our first year of participation in this race.
Each runner/walker and each pledge-maker received a gift certificate to Maddalena’s Restaurant in Palo Alto. (Thanks to Maddalena’s for providing the gift certificates.) Also, each person who brought in $120 or more was given a copy of Ann Marie Brown’s guidebook, “101 Great Hikes of the San Francisco Bay Area.”
Extra special thanks go to our top money raisers: Rob Corrigan, who participated in Almaden Lake Park, was our top pledge-getter at $440. Bonnie McClure and Georgia Stigall both participated at Coyote Point Park and each brought in over $300. The Chapter, along with the Hiker’s Hut Committee, is happy to extend to each of you one free night at the Hiker’s Hut.
Once again, thanks to all participants and those who passed out literature and manned the tables. We look forward to next May’s event and an expanded Chapter presence.
