Hi Everyone! Just a quick update to let you all know about a couple of changes we’re making for the Photo Walk this year.

First off, we’re moving it to the fall so that the heat isn’t as grueling and the event should be even more enjoyable than usual.

We’ve also decided to give you the option of doing the walk on Saturday OR Sunday.  We know that there are lots of things going on during the weekend, like religious observances, sporting events, and other important events. Our hope is that by giving this option, it will create opportunities to participate for those who wouldn’t be able to if it were only on one day.

So, all that said… We’re looking at the weekend of October 1-2 as the potential dates for this year’s event.  This isn’t 100% official yet, but you can go ahead and pencil that onto your calendar until we make the official announcement

We have lots of other plans and improvements in store, so stay tuned for more info!
