What a great job the team did last week raising critical funds for research! If anyone needs forms to collect offline and send in via mail to the Unity Walk please email me at HYPERLINK "mailto:[log in to unmask]"[log in to unmask] Meeting place: We will meet near the band shell starting around 10am. Look for the YOPA banner. As far as hotels, the Mayflower is full but I managed to find a room at The Wellington (HYPERLINK "http://www.wellingtonhotel.com"www.wellingtonhotel.com). Because of some situations beyond our control, the Mayflower is sold out of $159.00 rooms. The price is now $239. For those of you who do not have rooms yet my secondary recommendation, based on quality proximity and price would be THE MAJESTIC or the Wellington. It is on the list of hotels for YOPA Hotels.com. Links again are listed below. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you make reservations, hotels are going fast and prices are rising as rooms are booked. Once you have booked your rooms, please E-mail Tom Berdine, and let him know where you are staying so we may contact you if necessary.

You then mail your collection to the address provided on the form. I see many of us have -0- collected so far. That is fine, we mainly want you to come and have fun. Keep in mind that in order to get the Unity Walk sihrt you must collect $70. The YOPA shirt will be FREE. Last year we raised over $30,000 for research. Not bad for our first time. It really made the larger organizations recognize us. So lets get rolling and raise some money for research. Send your walk link to all your family, friends, and co-workers. Contact your local paper for help! Ask for donations from local buisnesses! Remember: TOGETHER WE WILL WIN!
