GINGERBREAD COOKIE WALK - The theme of this Walk is its attraction. It is actually sponsored by the Illinois Trekkers, Scott Air Force Base, IL, but its unusualness, coupled with the cooperation the Illinois Trekkers give to Clubs in the South Central Region, warrant you consideration. Unusual by the fact that you may purchase an empty Gingerbread Cookie Bag for $6.00 at the Start and, while walking your VM, stop at merchant locations and receive as many as 36 different cookies. Start at the Bank of Belleville, 720 West Main St., Belleville, IL, between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. (finish by 3:00 p.m.) on Saturday, December 10th. POC for this Walk is Deb Kruep at 618-277-0830.
Some of us will have to miss this event, because we will be walking the Festival of Lights Walk, sponsored by the Wandergruppe Walking Club of Oklahoma City and starting from the Basement of the USAO Student Union Building in Chickasha, OK (5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.). Call Ross Kiddie at 405-387-3231 if you would like additional information about this Walk. The following evening, November 11, the Wichita Skywalkers are sponsoring a Christmas Lights Walk starting from East Heights Methodist Church, 4407 East Douglas Ave., Wichita, KS. Your information source for this walk is John Wickham at 316-788-5342.
