This year's event is fast approaching, this year's event is on Sunday March 23rd at Mount Baldy and the actual course is being routed differently this year, they are having all of us go up the road to the notch to get lunch at the "lift restaurant" and Tim is going to set the final course on the morning of the event.

Last year we had a very big group and most, but not all of us were under the same "group" but it was a little confusing during sign up as to how to get under that group, so some signed up individually.

Here's the link location http://heroes.convio.net/site/TR?fr_id=1060&pg=entry

Does anyone want to be the person who comes up with this years team name and organize our group?

Last years event was one hell of a fun day, hope to see everyone out there that can make it smile

Hi Shin was the lead for us last year. I want to do it again and invite all the board members to join in .It was a great day and I hope we raised some awareness and funds. I heard comments from the Vets I heard when I was discharged. These young people need all the support we can give them. Thanks Doug

Hi Doug Sr., Let's form a team as "WPSMB" under your leadership this year on and make this hike as a spring official WPSMB group hike. You are the leader of our pack either you like it or not.

I was on the other side of the world during the event last year. Should be fun to join in on it instead of just reading about it this.

I missed it last year as well, and hope to change that this time. It looked like everyone had such a wonderful time... and what a GREAT cause!! I think I might be able to swing it if I stay just a little bit longer when I come down next month smile . Is there a deadline for signing up?

I've never climbed Baldy, but I guess I'll try it. (The password is hilarious by the way, Doug.)
