August is here and hopefully the super hot and humid weather is behind us. It sure may it challenging for our July walks, between that and the air quality. We are happy to keep moving on and wanted to let you know our plans for the month of August regarding our Tuesday walks.
August 4th - Meet at the Senior Center at 9:00 am and check in at the kiosks. Be sure to check the Walk and Socializing categories. Our walk will start from the Senior Center and take the trail towards Half Moon Beach, continuing down to Lakeshore Elementary, continuing on the trail to the entrance for Carson Park next to the Tennis Center, following the trail into the park, down to the road that leads down to the lower park and then returning on the trail to the Senior Center. This is about a 3 mile walk that should take about an hour. If individuals would like a shorter walk, they could turn around and head back at any point. There are some benches along the way if anyone would like to rest and wait for the group to return.
August 11th - We will be starting at the Senior Center at 9:00 a.m. and taking the trail system north and back around to the Senior Center.
August 18th - We will be doing a walk around through Rod and Gun Park. More details on where we will be meeting will be sent out the Monday prior. This will be an off site starting point so we ask that you arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the 9:00 a.m. start time so that you can check in with Bonnie since you will not be entering it on the kiosk at the Senior Center.
August 25th - Walk through trails in downtown area which may include the S Bridge and Boyd Park. Again this will most likely be an off site starting location. More details will be provided in the weekly email announcing the walk.
Just some reminders regarding our walks:
If a walk is cancelled, it will be listed as a pop-up on the Senior Center website. We will also send an email out to those on our walking email list.
All members of the Senior Center are welcome to walk with us. If someone is not on the email list, please let Dawn know at dlh910@hotmail.com. She will get them on the list.
Walks for the fall beginning in September are scheduled to return to the 1:00 p.m. start time. Walks are planned for one hour. 30 minutes out at your pace and 30 minutes back.
Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to walks that originate other than the Senior Center so that you can sign in with Bonnie. Walks starting at the Center will have individuals checking in at the kiosks.
On the day of the walk there will be a person at the start, a person in the middle and a person at the end. This will help out in case of an emergency, or someone needs anything. This will be voluntary at the start of each walk.
Jackie will still walk with anyone (beginners) who is interested in a short walk from the Center
Any questions, let us know.
