Dear Karel & Kimberly,

If you are getting this Walk-O-Rama email it's because you have supported the Lindy Scholar Walk for the Animals in some way in recent years.  Thank you!  The Walk-O-Rama newsletter will keep you up to date with Walk announcements, highlight some easy ways you can help make the Walk successful, and profile some of the people and Packs involved this year.  You can get Walk-O-Rama Vol. I by clicking here.
 
50 State Challenge!
globeBelieve it or not, support for the Walk for the Animals comes from around the the country, not just Pennsylvania.  Supporters from twenty states have already pledged in support of the Walk this year.  The states include AL, AZ, CA, CO, DE, FL, GA, IL, MD, MN, NC, NJ, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, TX and VA!  Of course, that means that there are 30 states and a few assorted US territories that need to come through for the animals.  Take the HSBC 50 State Challenge and see if you can help us to put a few more pins in the map and make this a truly nationwide affair!
 
A FirstGiving.com fundraising page (see Quick Link at left) makes it easy to ask friends and family from around the country to donate securely.  Be the first to snag bragging rights to Hawaii or Idaho.  Or, be the first to go global?...

Demos, Exhibits and Contests Now Listed Online!
When we say that this year's Walk will be bigger and better than ever, we really mean it!  In addition to the fun Walk and Walktoberfest, there are nearly 50 exhibitors ranging from animal welfare to classic cars, custom doggy treats to hand made jewelry.  There is something for everyone at the Walk Expo and it ranges from the educational to strictly fun!

If you are planning to have your dog's picture up here next year as the "Best Dressed" contest winner, you better surf on over to check out the contest listings.  Click here to visit the whole list of contests and exhibitors at berkshumane.org and keep checking back- new things are being added all the time!
Remember, the Walk is about more than just having fun- it's about helping save thousands of lives each year.  Please help us to help the animals by registering yourself and your friends, raising sponsorship funds, and by forwarding this email to lots and lots of people!  Thanks!
 
See you at the Walk!
