Christmas Party at Carla's and Mark's

Contact me for the party location 314-306-3222
I always track weather conditions for the walks. Saturday night at 4:30 the temp is supposed to be 19 degrees with a real feel of 5 degrees. In my opinion this is too cold for a 45 minute walk. Therefore we are cancelling the walk portion of this event. We are now meeting at Carla's and Mark's for the party.

Please bring some food to share and whatever you would like to drink. I will be handing out directions to the party after the walk.

I have limited the number of attendees to 30 so if you sign up and decide not to attend make sure that you change your RSVP. This will open up spaces for those on the waiting list. If you are uncomfortable driving at night in the city contact a friend and carpool. If you don't want to walk the uneven sidewalks at night let me know and you can meet us at the party address after the walk. My cell number is 314-306-3222. Bring a small flashlight to light the sidewalks.

After the walk we will go to a members house for a party. Please bring some food to share and what you want to drink.

After the walk we will be going to one of the member’s home for a party. Please bring some food to share and whatever you would like to drink. I will be handing out directions to the party after the walk.

I would like to take this opportunity to remember you to be safe. DO NOT leave any valuables visible inside of you car. Put valuables in the trunk or glove compartment. If you know someone else who is going on our meetup, try to carpool. My cell number is 314-306-3222.

What to bring:

• WATER – THIS IS IMPORTANT ALL YEAR LONG AND ESPECIALLY IN THE WARMER MONTHS. WE WILL USUALLY BE OUT FOR AT LEAST 1 ½ HOURS AND THAT IS TOO LONG TO GO WITHOUT REPLENISHING THE LIQUIDS THAT YOU WILL BE BURNING WHILE WALKING. – I AVOID DRINKING CAFFEINATED BEVERAGES BEFORE WALKING. THE ARE A LOT OF GOOD ARTICLES ABOUT “effects of caffeine and exercise” ON THE Internet OR ASK YOU DOCTOR.
• Dress in layers (not sure what the weather will do). The top couple of layers should be easily unbuttoned or unzipped to allow easy ventilation. Wear a hat.
• I recommend broken in hiking shoes over Tennis shoes. A lot of the trails are over loose gravel and dirt and the treads on the hiking boots work much better.
• Snacks – EAT LIGHTLY BEFORE THE WALK AND BRING A POWER BAR OR SNACK TO MUNCH ON DURING THE WALK.

I will try and make a decision to cancel because of weather by 4:00pm.
