My name is Lane Lamoreaux and I may be the newest club member. Just moved here a month ago and looking to get involved. At a club meeting I volunteered to lead the club hike up "A" mtn on behalf of the American Cancer Society and give Eric, the hike leader in years past, a well deserved break.

Our involvement in the event will help gain visibility for the club and allow us to contribute to the community. And, if we have decent winds, allow us to spare the knees on the way down with a flight over lots of awestruck people.

If we get at least 10 team members we can submit our own t-shirt design. The club goal is to raise $1,000.

I'm in,
Welcome aboard and thanks for organizing.

Hi. Lane

I second that, thanks for organizing the event this year.

Do you know when the deadline for sign-ups is to get the quota for the t-shirt?

John

Here's the info from the event organizer regarding the t-shirts:

"All you need to have is ten registered and paid team members for you to be able to submit a design. (Children who pay $10 are included in that head count.) The deadline for that is Feb. 10. The design needs to be in black and white and preferably in a jpg format. Shades of gray in a picture print out as a solid color. The t-shirt is going to be in black, so print will be in white."

I'm the holder of the logos, I'll get you an appropriate version in the next few days.

We've got 5! The following folks will be part of this years SAHGA team

brown, morey

Konves, Steve

Lamoreaux, Lane

Wolfe, John

We still need 5 more! Sweet t-shirts, good times, and good PR!

Lets do this!

Curing cancer is certainly a noble cause, but donating to the American Cancer Society is the wrong approach.
The link below is a real eye opener along with other similar videos I've seen that shows what they're really doing with your donations, because curing cancer is not one of them.
If this doesn't convince you then check out Dr. Burzynski's movie. It's absolutely amazing because you'll never view the cancer industry the same again.

I don't think any charitable organization needs to be belittled. Donate to whatever cause you wish and don't presume to tell anyone else whom they should make donations to, just my humble opinion.

Thanks Lane,

I am in that makes seven.
I am glad that we can continue to make an appearence for this event,we do fly there.

Eric

I'd like to welcome Eric Smith and John Lowery to the team. Just chatted with the gal that's organizing the climb through the city about us getting our gear to the top. I'll post her reply down below:

You are asking the right person and I thank you for checking with me.

Since you have the permission from the City, I imagine we can allow that. however I will need to check with the City at our upcoming meeting since we have a contractual agreement for that day. We may need to have you sign additional waivers to appease our legal department as well.

My preference would be that all items be brought up the mountain on Friday evening because we limit car access to only event staff/volunteers the day of the event. We do have security overnight. The night of the set up, we can determine the best place to put your materials so it does not impede or get damaged during the event.

I will speak with my intern so she is aware of the situation as well. Our meeting with the City is tentatively set for February 1, so we will be in touch after that.

Hi Lane
Put Debbie & I down for the walk. I'll square up with you at the next club meeting.
Thanks for your efforts.
Rafael

Got it Rafael. That'll put us up to 9. Looking like we'll have some good representation. Nipping at the heals of 10. The more the merrier!

Lane, My wife Elizabeth will joing us. she's a 10. Does she need to go to their website and pay up? I forget where I signed up.

steve

@ Bald Eagle. Here's the link Steve. http://main.acsevents.org/goto/SAHGA

It will take you right to our team page where she can sign up.

That should put us at 10. Of course there's no limit. The more the merrier. This will just mean that all the participants will get an event T-shirt with our own SAHGA logo on it.

Whoa Whoa Whoa!

Just got a message from the fundraiser coordinator who attended a civics event and this is her reply:


"Hi Lane - I attended a Civic Events meeting this morning and asked them about your request. They unanimously said no, we can allow that, I am very sorry. If you have any questions, please contact Reenie Ochoa's office at 791-5909. She is the West District Administrator at the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department. Her assistant is Lisa Cortese. "


I'm working figuring something out.

Open to any feedback and guidance.
