Interview with Winter Park Magaizine this Sunday, etc.

Dedication of Baldwin Park Trail

This morning, Dylan, Bob, Jorge and I attended the ribbon cutting ceremony officially dedicating the completion of the Lake Baldwin Trail.  It was a nice ceremony and we got to meet and chat with Mayor Bradley, some of the City Commissioners and the City's Communication Director.

 

I am pasting below Dylan's response to a request to our group regarding distance markers along the trail. The e-mail was sent to Jon Hughes and Tom Ward:

 

"Commissioner Robert Stuart approached me after the ribbon cutting of the finished Baldwin Park trail loop today and asked if our running group (the Sunday morning group) could "officially" (and accurately) mark the loop in quarter mile increments for runners, walkers, etc. John Holland from WP Rec was amenable too. I said I'd contact you guys to see how it's done and maybe get your assistance.

 

I suggested we could discreetly mark the pavement at the quarter mile increments and leave it to the cities (Orlando and WP) to embellish with posts/markers of their choice and at their expense. Ideas?"

 

Thanks, Dylan!

 

Interview with Winter Park Magazine

A reporter with Winter Park Magazine called today and asked if she could come out this Sunday to interview the group beginning at 6:45 AM.  Her name is Camille and she is not a runner.  She may ask for contact info on people she wants to interview further.  She expressed particular interest in talking to the youngest and oldest members of the group, so Jarily and Bob should consider it a moral imperative to be there this Sunday!

 

So, if you possibly can do so, would you please try to arrive fifteen minutes early to meet and greet her.  Needless to say, this will be a golden opportunity to showcase our group, hopefully get some publicity, and also increase attendance at our Sunday morning runs.

 

It you possibly can do so, would you please let me know by e-mail whether you can make it out this Sunday?  Thanks!!

 

Hope to see you Sunday—
