Beginner's Mind students to walk against child abuse

Walk A Mile In Their Shoes is the walk against child abuse that members of Phi Beta Lambda are organizing and operating to help raise awareness of and put a stop to child abuse in the Walla Walla community. This is the second annual Walk A Mile In Their Shoes and we look forward to having a memorable day in beautiful Pioneer Park with the organizations that have put this together.

The walk will occur on March 27, 2010, at Pioneer Park from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. This is a family event including field day activities for the children and a free lunch as long as supplies last. There will be music, special speakers, and information to educate and raise the community’s awareness about child abuse prevention. The walk will be of the perimeter of Pioneer Park, which is 1.34 miles, once at 11:00 a.m. and a second time at 2:00 p.m.

The Walk A Mile committee has asked Beginner's Mind School to assist in the safety duties of this event again and our students and friends will again come down and provide for the walkers. We will be posted along the perimeter of the park and will assist in directing the flow of the walk as well as ensuring the safety of the walkers near the streets. When you see a Beginner's Mind student, say "hi" and give them a big 'high five' as all of these individuals are volunteering for a great cause, just like you!

Our martial arts family is planning for a great day in the park with you and your family so won't you come and participate in support of this worthy cause.
