Believe it or not, this year marks the 5th Anniversary of the formation of the Warming Hut Hotties… hundreds of team members, walking thousands of miles, raising $1,688,405… and we’re just getting started! I’m sure you’ve heard and seen the ads for the Avon Walk and the 3 Day. After your wee winter hibernation I hope you are all eager to get back out on the road! In this issue:
Training Walks are ON & the Warming Hut is OPEN!
The Warming Hut is back open after last year’s fire and looking better than ever for our post-walk coffee and snacks. Come on out, dust of those shoes and let’s get walking! Look for walks to be up on the Avon Walk calendar and the 3 Day calendar soon. March walks are as follows:
Sunday, March 16th – 6 miles - meet at 8:00am - meet at the Warming Hut
Saturday, March 22nd – 8 miles – meet at 8:00am - meet at the Warming Hut
Sunday, March 30th – 9 miles - meet at 7:30am - meet at the Warming Hut
April walks will be Saturdays only. In May we’ll begin our Saturday and Sunday training walks. As always, please RSVP to warminghuthotties at sbcglobal dot net
(Also look for a new “first Sunday of the month hottie hike” starting in May!)
We're becoming a non-profit! In Our Lifetime:
A small group of us meet to discuss 2008 and team goals and we decided the time is right to make the hotties a non-profit organization!
We need seed money for filing and legal fees. We anticipate these costs to be $2,000 - $3,000 and need everyone to help with these expenses. Mail checks to:
Marcia Peterson
1199 Johnson Street
Redwood City, CA 94061
Marcia, hottie since 2003, is a paralegal and will file the Articles of Incorporation for us this week to get the ball rolling. Non-profit status will help us with soliciting donations for a number of fun projects we will host this year.
Our non-profit will be called In Our Lifetime but we will be doing business as Warming Hut Hotties. Why the name In Our Lifetime? The purpose and mission statement are as follows:
We are planning a HUGE team silent auction-type fundraising event this year. Currently we are scouting a location (think rec room, cultural center, or large hall space.) There will be a DJ, games, snacks, etc. and general hottie merriment! The tentative dates to mark on your calendar are:
July 19th or 20th
August 16th or 17th
It will be a Saturday evening 7 – 10pm or a Sunday afternoon 1 – 4pm.
We will be asking everyone to solicit silent auction items and we are hoping to secure one HUGE item for a raffle – think vacation rental house or similar. We’ll of course need volunteers for before, during and after the event.
The proceeds from the fundraising event will go to creating a Walker Scholarship Program – “Shoulder to Shoulder”. We will be hand selecting a few recipients who otherwise could not participate in these events due to costs: registration fees, training/event gear, transportation, childcare and accommodations pre/post event, etc. This will not be a handout. Candidates must do the work to participate but we’ll be giving lots of help all along the way so they surpass their goals and succeed! The goal is help these individuals participate with fundraising and training mentoring; possibly help with meeting the fundraising minimum if they fall short.
There will be an application process for the Scholarship for 2009. We will release details as they become finalized! If you know of any candidates please email warminghuthottiesatsbcglobaldotnet

The specific purposes for which this corporation is organized are to solicit and2008 Projects: Big Fundraising Event and Walker Sponsorship Program
receive contributions; to distribute contributions to individuals, community
organizations and non-governmental agencies that provide resource information,
assistance and support to individuals affected by breast cancer.
We are ordinary women and men who have come together as the
Warming Hut Hotties team by walking in breast cancer fundraising
events. Through our training walks, fundraising and participation in
multi-day walk events we hope to inspire others to join our supportive and
caring community. Shoulder to shoulder we extend camaraderie, deep humor and
shared vision for a world without breast cancer In Our Lifetime.
In our Lifetime is organized and managed by a small but hardworking, dedicated,
fun-loving group of volunteers. We are currently working to obtain non-profit
501(c)(3) corporation status.
