RONALD MCDONALD WALK INFORMATION

THE WALK STARTS FROM THE ROGER WILLIAMS PARK
TEMPLE TO MUSIC

THE WALK STARTS AT 9AM ACCORDING TO RADIO ANNOUNCEMENTS
YOU WILL WANT TO ARRIVE CLOSE BY 8:30 IN ORDER TO FIND A PARKING SPOT AND GET TO OUR STAGING AREA (SEE BELOW)

WALKS IN THE PAST HAVE PROVEN THAT THE PARKING SITUATION THERE IS DIFFICULT AND TRAFFIC BACKS UP SIGNIFICANTLY

HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS:
ARRIVE EARLY (duh!)
ENTER THROUGH THE BROAD STREET OR PARK AVENUE PARK ENTRANCES RATHER THAN THE ELMWOOD AVENUE MAIN ENTRANCES

CONSIDER PARKING AT PARK VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL
PARK AVENUE, CRANSTON (KEEP IN MIND IT'S A BIT OF A WALK TO THE START LINE)



PARKING AT THE PARK:
ZOO PARKING LOTS ARE VERY LARGE
'CASINO' PARKING LOT (NEAR ELMWOOD AVENUE ENTRANCE)


CONSIDER CAR POOLING!!!

THERE WILL BE MANY SIGNS DIRECTING YOU TO THE START LINE OF THE WALK. LOOK FOR THE TEAM COURTNEY SIGNS TO LOCATE OUR TEAM.

PLEASE COME TO OUR 'STAGING AREA' TO PICK UP YOUR T SHIRT.
WE HAVE MADE 55 SHIRTS - ENOUGH FOR ALL WALKERS WHO REGISTERED THROUGH YESTERDAY.

FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS
SEE YOU ALL THERE!

Update

The mass on Thursday was beautiful. We want to thank Fr. Kenney and Mrs. Donahue-Lynch from LaSalle. We will be thinking about 'save the princess' for some time to come!

Thank you also to the amazing voices of the Pilgrim High School Accepella Choir and Women's Choir. There were over a dozen kids who took time out of their week, on their own to share their talents with us.

To date there are 40 people that we know of registered for the Ronald Mcdonald walk-a-thon.
If you registered and did not indicate that you would be walking with TEAM COURTNEY please contact The Providence Ronald McDonald House and ask that they add your name to the team list. 274-4447

Otherwise we have t-shirts for everyone identified as walking with TEAM COURTNEY.
We will have a table set up (look for the TEAM COURTNEY PINK SIGNS) with beverages and refreshments. Looking forward to seeing you all there for the 8:30 start!
