LaSalle Breaks the CROP records

Elaine Oster, from First Presbyterian Church was the coordinator for the LaSalle CROP walk held last weekend. She shared some wonderful news from the 2006 walk. There were
27 walkers (a little less than last year) but the walkers raised TWICE as much as they have before. They raised $2,056.50. Of that total amount, LaSalle First Presbyterian accounted for (drum roll please) $1,162. WOW!

PRAISE THE LORD!
Thanks for the update Elaine!

Boulder Crop Walk

Success for hungry people! Several CROP walks were held last weekend, and Alex and I were able to attend the one in Boulder. While final numbers are not in...the around 400 walkers were working hard to raise more than $40,000 this year! What a festival- there were lots of nice booths in the finish area, including Virginia's water carrying booth. I was able to carry a gallon of water on my head...but didn't trust myself to add more!

Pictured here is the fabulous group from St Andrew's Presbyterian Church who looked like they were in the running for the traveling trophy for most walkers from one group. Congratulations St Andrew for such a huge turn out!

I would love to hear about other walks in your areas- please leave a comment or give me a call! Foothills walk is this coming weekend and Fort Collins on the 21st. Check 'em out!
