Fundraising Idea:  Walk can be exceptionally profitable.  Host the walk on the trail starting here in Rainier.  Wants us to talk about doing this walk together with Lacey Midday Lions Club.  Find a sponsor for T-Shirts and portabile restrooms.  $30 is the low end price range.  5K, 10K, 15K.  We both have 501-c3 foundations that would be helpful in getting funds to buy T-shirts.  (We have restrooms, so portable restrooms aren't necessary.)  Joint committee to get the fundraiser together.  (Planning for next year on the Sunday after Round-up Days.)
