Berkshires Day of Logistics
It's almost time for the 2009 Berkshires March for Babies at the Farnam Road entrance for the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail in Cheshire.. We can't wait to see you on Saturday, October 3rd. Before then there are a few things we would like you to know.
Where do I park?
There is plenty of parking at the Farnam Road entrance for the rail trail as well as along Farnam Road.
What is Registration and why do I need to register if I already did online?
Registration for the Berkshire walk begins at 9:000 A.M. All participants need to visit the registration table inside the tents. Registration is where you turn in money; receive information about incentives you may be eligible for, and your route card. If you have not registered online, you will need to go to the registration tent and do so. Please remember to print your online donations and bring them with you to the walk.
What are incentives and where do I get them?
Every walker who fundraises is eligible for incentives. Walkers who raise $150.00 or more will receive a tee-shirt on the day of walk. All other incentives will be mailed after the walk. To view a complete list of available incentives visit, http://marchforbabies.summitmg.com/mod08/default.asp? Please note only registered walkers who fundraise are eligible for incentives, not donors.
How long is the Route?
The route is a scenic three miles that will take us along the beautiful Cheshire Reservoir. Dogs, Bicycles, strollers and wagons are all welcome.
What if I can't Walk?
If you are unable to walk please still join us for the festivities. If you are interested in volunteering in areas such as registration email me at KIntrovigne@marchofdimes.com
What do we do after the Walk?
After you are done walking, lunch will be served by our friends at Boston Market. Participants are encouraged to bring blankets to sit outside. Bowie the Clown will be on hand for the kids as well as all sorts of other fun kids activities. There will also be raffles and auction items. Make sure you stop by the mission area to learn about premature birth and sign our March for Babies scrub tops to be donated to Berkshire Medical Center.
Will the Walk be postponed if it rains?
The walk will not be postponed due to inclement weather. Dress warm, bring an umbrella and we will see you there!
