It's 6:00am Saturday and I am up. On most occasions you will never find me writing that I am up this early especially on a weekend but I had good reason to be up so early, it was the day to Walk for a Cure.
My husband (Carlos F.) and I arrived promptly at 8:00am and met with some of the other early risers at the Bluegreen booth. It was nice to meet some of our co-workers from corporate and their families. Carlos M. and his wife Diana arrived shortly after us with their kids in tow. Johnny and Veronica are the best and it was nice to be able to spend the morning with them.
Before we kicked off the walk, we were entertained by a local dance team and they did a fabulous rendition of Phantom of the Opera and Hair Spray and the kids had a bounce house, face painting, clowns and even Ronald McDonald made an appearance. Some fresh fruit, muffins (YumO), bagels and even Starbucks Coffee was made available to us thanks to the Fresh Market and of course Starbucks.
This year our very own CEO John Maloney and his kids did the ribbon cutting and kicked things off. The 2 mile walk was done in a blink of an eye but we had a great time walking with our 200 or so new "friends".
-------After 2 months of bake sales, paper shoe sales and selling Raffle ticket's I am happy to announce that the final count of all donations collected for JDRF was $620.00 at Solara alone. Thank you Team Solara for your united effort to collect funds for this worth while cause. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!
