What:
We do about a 2 mile level walk.
When:
We normally do our walks on the second and fourth Fridays of the month starting at 9:30am, but this could change month to month depending on the temperature (8:30am on warm days).
Where:
Summer vacation trips and other activities have continued to impact the turnout for the walks. The first walk in July was down to two potential walkers, so they decided not to walk. The second walk in July will have taken place when you read this, but we expect a better turnout for the Stevens Creek Trail. With some of the more extensive vacations out of the way, we expect a better turnout for August.
For the first walk in August we plan to walk part of the last of the Sunnyvale public art routes. The date is changed to the Third Friday in August, August 15th, to keep the first walk on the Friday after the Branch 62 luncheon. We will meet at 9:30 AM at Fair Oaks Park, on the east side of the junction of Fair Oaks and Wolfe Road.
The second August walk will be along our favorite, the Stevens Creek Trail. This walk will be on the 5th Friday, August 29th. Meet at 9:30 AM at the Blackberry Farm golf course parking lot, off Stevens Creek Boulevard in the hollow between De Anza College and Foothill Boulevard.
If you are interested in a nice walk, contact Roy Jordan (see the Branch 62 Membership Directory) so we can tip you off to changes or cancellations. What is written here is the present plan, but plans might change. Or you could just show up and take your chances. Roy has a list of walkers he sends reminders to and informs them of changes, rain contingencies, etc. We can add you to the list. Walking is good for you.
If you would like a nice walk on a Friday, or have questions, please contact Roy Jordan.
Come join us for some fun and exercise!
SOME THINGS TO PONDER:
Walking is good for you. It keeps your heart and body healthy.
“
Walking is a man’s best medicine.” (Hippocrates)
“
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” (Confucius)
“
The moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow.” (Henry David Thoreau)
Tom Chatfield passed in 2023. He asked that we continue walking. We do it now in his memory. We call it "Tom's Walk".
Please let Roy know if you're coming so he can tell you where and when the walk begins.
