Walk-A-Thon & Picnic
It’s almost time for our annual walk-a-thon--Footwork for Ferrets! The 5k walk will be held at Bemis Woods, Grove 1 on 9/11/10 and begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. with the picnic will follow. Of course every dollar pledged goes directly to the care of the ferrets, but this year every walker, every kilometer will also earn food for the GCFA and our new program “Keep Them Home”. We desperately need as many participants in the walk as possible. Even if you can walk all 5k, every kilometer you do walk earns ½ lb of TF food. Click here for the pledge sheet, there will be prizes for the top 3 who raise the most sponsor dollars. We honor our ferrety friends with this walk, so feel free to bring your ferrets! Please make sure you bring plenty of water, food and of course a litterbox!
After the Walk-A-Thon everyone is invited to join the GCFA membership for some BBQ. Hamburgers, hot dogs, corn, pop - we got it all! Of course, you're welcome to bring a plate to share. This is a great time to visit, make new friends, meet some other ferret owners, swap ferret stories/experiences and find new ways to get involved with the club.
