*** Let's celebrate a successful TBN walks season with a lunch for City Walk participants on Sunday, March 9, in the party room of Carmelle's condo building near Sherbourne and Adelaide E. Participants will be asked to contribute $10 to cover costs. Home-made lasagne (meat and vegetarian) will be served along with a couple of salads and dessert. There will be red and white wine and pop, or you can bring your own beer or other drinks if you wish. Please register before March 6 by emailing Carmelle or by emailing citywalks@tbn.ca (I will forward your email to Carmelle) and payment information will be provided to you. Please secure your spot with payment. Limit of 20 participants.
For today's walk, meet at about 10:00 AM at the McDonald's at 1735 Danforth Ave., on the south side of Danforth, just east of Coxwell Station. We will begin the walk at 10:10 sharp.
