Participants were encouraged to walk outside in teams with safe distancing. The Rolling Walkers Team went out almost every day in their electric-powered chairs. People are walking everywhere from the lakes to the garden, gazebo and trails through the garden homes. Our 17 teams have put in more than 500 walking sessions in 5 weeks. Way to Go!!!! Here are a few of our teams of the week that were chosen randomly. Here are a few of our walking teams: This has been so much fun that we have decided to go for a second round. We will start on Monday June 8 and end Sunday July 26. Outside temperatures may be in the 90’s, so plan to walk early morning or late in the day or enjoy the air conditioned halls of Kirby Pines. Remember to use sunscreen, wear a hat, sunglasses, and like I always say, DRINK MORE WATER. In support of the Arthritis Foundation, we are planning our own Walk to Cure here at Kirby Pines on June 17 at 10:00 am. We need your help. Unfortunately like many plans around here we must postpone our annual bake sale to raise money. We are encouraging our walking teams to help us raise donations. You can help by supporting these teams by pledging donations for each time your friends or teams walk. Then on the day of our walk, we will meet in the Lobby at 10:00 am to register and start your walk choosing the route of your choice outside or inside. Donations will be counted to see which team or individual has raised the most money. We will need volunteers to help at our registration table and walkers to participate. A walking course will be marked around the lake and another course for inside walkers. Everyone who participates will be eligible for door prizes, surprises, and refreshments. Last year we raised over $1000. The Arthritis Foundation funds research, education, and community awareness toward a cure and medical relief of over 100 different forms of Arthritis including JuvenileArthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Polymyalgia, just mention a few. Please join with our family at Kirby Pines to support the Arthritis Foundation with your financial gifts and participation. • 4 • The Pinecone | June 2020 Join the Competition and Get Walking!
