>>Does anyone know whether there are directions available to parking garages near Central Park? Thanks Debbie White [log in to unmask]<< There is a garage on East 76th just off of 5th Ave. (4 blocks from the 72nd St entrance closest to the Bandshell) that runs a special on Saturday: $9.98 for up to10 hours. After tax it's about $12. On E.73rd off of 5th Ave is a garage that runs a similar weekend special; $15 for 12 hours including tax. In NYC East is Even numbers and West is Odd. An alternative is to park in a lower rent district and taking public transportation to the site. The Port Authority Bus Terminal used to be pretty cheap and connects to subway lines. This year the business end of the walk will be 'front-loaded'. Meaning we will schedule most of our speeches and activities for the 10:30 AM thru 12:00 Noon pre-walk Registration time. Aside from brief concluding remarks the apre-Walk will be almost talk-free. Come early for the following: Stretching / light exercise and Tai-Chi demonstrations. "Ask the Neurologist" desk with staff from Beth Israel Hospital & Columbia Presbyterian Parkinson's Advocacy Table (resources, petitions, information) String Bank for Parkinson's Awareness (The Ball of String is now IN the Big Apple) Face Painting, Tatoo and Bubble Booth for the kids of all ages (sorry, no body piercing) Live Jazz with the Herman Foster Quintet at the Band Shell from 10:30AM thru 12:30. Jazz/rock with Kings In Disguise from 12:30 till 2:00PM Coffee & Bagels in the AM, Cookies and snacks in the afternoon. There will be large tents to house the festivities in the unlikely event of r---. Remember to PRE-REGISTER! There is still time to fax your registration in to 212 496 8639. see you Saturday, 9/27 Regards, Ken Aidekman Fund the Research. Find the Cure.
