WALK FOR DEVELOPMENT The Grimsiey High School parking lot will be the kick-off point and final destination for the MILES FOR CHILDREN WALK which will commence at 8:15 a.m., Saturday, April 22 (rain or shine). MILES FOR CHILDREN is a 20 mile walk to raise money for the March of Dimes in its battle against crippling birth defects. 'The 20 mile trek will be endured by “walkers” who receive dona tions from a number of sponsors, each obligated to pay the walker a certain sum of money for each mile walked. Each participant in the walk is checked at the rest stations situated every four miles along the route. After the walker has completed his march, he returns to each of his sponsors with a checkpoint validation card and collects the amount agreed for each mile walked. The money is then sent to the March of Dimes, 109 Wil son St., by May 8. Awards will be given to the walker who turns in the most money collected from sponsors and to the person having the largest number of sponsors. A TV set and a cassette player are the chief prizes. Anyone (all ages encouraged) willing to join the march should fill out the MILES FOR CHIL DREN WALK entry form and should start seeking sponsors, who are required to meet the mini mum pledge of 10c per mile. WALK FOR CHILDREN A 23 mile route has been de signed for the Walk for Develop ment (Hunger) slated for Sat., April 22. All marchers will begin and end their journey against hunger at the GHS parking lot. Each marcher is asked to seek sponsors who pay various amounts for each mile walked. Rest sta tions supplying entertainment and refreshments will be located along the way. Reasons for the Walk are two fold: (1) to raise funds for anti poverty and self-help projects, and (2) to educate the commun ity about development problems and possible solutions. This Greensboro experiment is part of a much larger program sponsored by The American Free dom From Hunger Foundation. The AFHF was created to stimu late greater public understanding and support for worthwhile proj ects to combat the root causes of hunger and to promote this en deavor both in the U.S. and abroad.
