<DIV><SPAN class=570032016-11102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am pleased to
announce that in cooperation with Mount Vernon Neighbors That Care, Inc, Mount
Vernon Neighbors United, the City of Mount Vernon, and the Mount Vernon
Educational Foundation, Inc. we are pleased to present the annual Mount Vernon
Walk-A-Thon. This event will take place on Sunday, October 26, 2008
from 1pm - 6pm. A Four-Mile walk through the city, that starts and ends at
City Hall Plaza, the event is designed to bring together neighborhoods and
people from all over our city to raise money for charities near and
far.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=570032016-11102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>The most special
aspect of this walk is that walkers and pledgers can choose what charity to
raise money for. Some may be walking for their own Neighborhood
Associations, some may walk for the Animal Shelter, Youth Organization, or other
charitable organization. Some may walk for the Sports or Academic
programs. Walkers and Teams choose the organization they would like
to support, and go out and walk for it!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Fleetwood Neighborhood Association will be hosting a team for this
event!</STRONG> Attached is the brochure and flyer. We are asking
all those interested in joining the <STRONG>FNA Team</STRONG> to let Susan know
no later than <STRONG>Wednesday, October 22</STRONG>. We have not yet
finalized a list of charities to whom we will donate the money to, so any
suggestions are welcome, so long as they are a fully registered 501(c)(3)
organization and are based in and serve the Mount Vernon population. Some
ideas include the Mt. Vernon Animal Shelter, the Mt. Vernon Boys and Girls Club,
the Mt. Vernon YMCA, the Mt. Vernon Kiwanis Key Club, Mt. Vernon Elks, the list
goes on and on. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

out the pledge form and drum up some sponsors. Sponsors can pledge as
little as $0.25 and as much as $25,000. (or more, but let's not get ahead
of ourselves!). Have your sponsors pay you the money upfront! (We
have to have the money in hand no later than the 26th ...) Then come to a
quick meeting on <SPAN class=601085800-22102008><FONT

so we can organize our list of charities, the amount pledged and raised for each
charity, and our outfits! Please note, children are welcome to
participate! We do require a ratio of 1 supervising adult for 10
children.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
