Join the SCC Team and Do the Kids Walk for Homeless Kids on Saturday, May 19, 2001. This is the third year that children from SCC will join together with adults and walk the three mile walk that benefits their less fortunate piers.
   There are now nearly 80,000 homeless children in the state of Illinois, and over 21,000 in the city of Chicago alone. How wonderful it is to put on your walking shoes and help make an effort to change these numbers for the better.
   As part of the SCC team you get the extra added pleasure of walking and talking with a group of friends, the opportunity to car pool, a $2 discount on your registration fee, and the pride in knowing that you helped raise a larger sum of money. It's an opportunity for the entire family to enjoy the great outdoors, beautiful scenery, snacks, exercise and entertainment.
   If you would like to be a part of the team, see Wendy Buffington for complete details. The cost if you pre-register by Friday, May 11, is $8 for kids and $13 for adults. For more details check out their web site at www.kidswalk.org.
   If you are unable to take part in the walk you can still be a part of the event by helping the other children get sponsors. Ask your family and friends to make a pledge for the SCC team to walk the walk. No donation is too small. Let them know that their kindness makes a BIG difference. The money you and the SCC team raises will help fund programs, education and shelter for many homeless children!
   I think this is a great opportunity for our youth to make a real difference in the world and do God's work! So sign-up to be part of the team!
