Hey club members,

We only have days to register for the Climb for the Cure Cancer walk on A mountain. Regardless of how you feel about the American Cancer Society this is an opportunity to give to a large spectrum of people who really appreciate it...How many of of us have lost family members to cancer?! Let's get our quota and get our logo. Let's fly afterwards.
