Annual WALK FOR BALANCE Event
This event is FREE to attend.
Details:
(Refreshments including pre-walk snacks and light lunch will be provided)
There will be an Information Fair throughout the event.

Win a Free Drawing for event gear and other items!
We will also give Dizzy Spirit Awards for Wearing the Most Blue for Balance, Best Use of Walking Aids, and Most Dizzy Group Spirit, etc.!
Walk:
We plan to walk at a comfortable pace. If you need to rest at any point on our 1-mile walk, there are many benches around the lake. Since we will be walking a loop (starting counter-clockwise around the lake), you are welcome to walk part of the way and then sit and rejoin us on our way back.
(Wheelchairs are welcome, too!)
Please wear comfortable shoes & in case of rain bring an umbrella.
*Non-walkers are invited to mingle indoors during the walk.*
Show Your Support/Spirit & Wear Blue for Balance!
*A limited number of t-shirts will be available at the event*
