But I didn't realize that you would be = planning something for this year. Kees, it would not just be hard for us to change our = date for this year, but absolutely impossible. We have = been working on the Unity Walk since the end of last = year. We have been acquiring permits, obtaining = corporate support, getting publicity, putting out literature, = etc. This year's date is carved in stone, so to speak. So let me concentrate on future years and point out that = there are always two problems for us with a September = date. First, in the beginning of the month it is useless to = schedule anything, because many people are still away = on their summer vacations. Second, September is the = month in which the Jewish high holy days take place = (the dates vary from one year to the next), and we = cannot schedule a walk during those days. That's why = we have chosen October for two years in a row. So -- good luck for =9195, and let's think together about =9196. Regards, Margot
