Hello Everyone!
Just wanted to remind you all of the upcoming walk this Saturday, October 17th at the Conewago Trail.
Days Events will include:
Registration – drop off your donations and pick up a brochure and business cards for Aaron’s Journey
Guest Book & Message Posters – Please sign our guest book and write a message to Aaron
Pictures – Get your picture taken to let Aaron know you were there… also please feel free to bring your cameras and take your own pictures throughout the day. Pictures will be compiled into a slide show for Aaron.
230 Café Tickets & Bracelets – AshleyReitz, a representative of the 230 Cafe and Aaron’s aunt, Denise Gingrich will be at the walk selling tickets to the next fundraiser at the 230 Café. They will also be selling bracelets (donated by Aaron’s cousin Bill) with proceeds going to Aaron’s Journey
Prayer – Currently we are trying to enlist the help of some Pastors/Elders to assist with leading small groups in prayer. If you feel led to join in, please do!
Bottled Water – Our thank you for all of the prayers and support you have shown for Aaron. Please be sure to properly dispose of your empty bottles.
Bake Sale – Nate and Erin Gingrich (Aaron’s cousin and her husband) are also hosting a bake sale at the walk with proceeds going to Aaron’s Journey.
A few notes about:
Directions – Detailed directions are available at http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/info/hikeforhealth/18conewagolvt.htm We will have red balloons marking the entrance so it is easier to spot from the road.
Parking – Parking is available at the trail head however we are expecting a large turnout so parking may be limited. We encourage you to carpool as much as you can for this event. If parking is not available at the trail head when you arrive, there is additional parking at the (out of business) gas station next door.
Rain Date – In the event that we need to cancel due to inclement weather, we will make an announcement on Aaron’s blog no later than 8:30 am on Saturday morning. Rain date is scheduled for the following day, Sunday, October 18th from 1:00-5:00 pm. If you are unable to make it on Sunday, we will have volunteers at the trail from 10:00-11:00 am on Saturday RAIN or SHINE to collect donations.
If you are unable to walk – You can always be a sponsor. If you don’t have anyone to sponsor, you can still make a donation on this site via Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express by clicking on the link to your right OR you can send a check to Aaron’s Journey at PO Box 267, Elizabethtown, PA 17022. Whether you are donating $1 or $100 please know that your donation counts. Aaron’s family is in the process of finding him the best outpatient rehabilitative care to ensure that Aaron has every opportunity to maximize his potential for recovery. With much thanks we endeavor to put your generous donations to the best use possible.
Thank you for supporting Aaron in his recovery. We hope to see you at the walk!
I think we all need to pray for no rain. God is bigger than the weather forecast right? Why lament about the weather when we can right to the weather maker right?
There are volunteers lined up and ready to go for either day, whatever is needed.
But it’s not going to rain, it’s not going to rain.
Ok we’ve all heard of people doing the “rain dance”. We need someone to do the “no rain dance”… any takers? 😉
It’s not going to rain… it’s not going to rain…keep repeating that…
it’s not going to rain… it’s not going to rain.
Hey Jessica! Thank you so much for thinking of Aaron. I’d notified my mom (Aaron’s step-mom) about your generous offer. She and Aaron’s dad are down in Philly today with Aaron but she said she will try to call you tomorrow. Thanks again! 🙂
Hello, my name is Jessica Welsh and my mom, Debbie owns the blue room in middletown. We are having a halloween costume party on friday, october 23rd and would love to make it a benefit for Aaron. Our plan is to have everyone make a $5.00 donation at the door and all of the money collected will be sent to the lawyer taking care of the funds for Aaron’s Journey.
I wasn’t sure how else to get in touch with someone other than to comment to a blog. If you have any questions, you can contact me, 717-329-7661 or Debbie, 717-805-9647.
Thank you so much and I hope we can work together to help Aaron!
Jessica
Congratulations on your engagement!!!! So glad to hear you are doing so well. I pray for you every nite and know that you are working very hard for your recovery!!! You are a wonderful man!!! Take care and God Bless You!!
I just want to say that I feel blessed to be a part of this walk, I pray for you all and I know that is the most important thing I can do, but I feel like I want to do more, so thanks for this opportunity to do more, you have blessed me. I too want to know that I have done all I can to make sure Aaron gets the best possible care he can. I think you are all awesome for being so committed to him, unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with a family like he has and the support you give. God Bless all of you!!!!
Thanks to all who helped in any way to organize this event. We hope that it is a time of laughter & sharing. We look forward to seeing everyone & seeing RED this weekend.
Looking forward to the walk. The trail is beautiful. Hope to see a sea of red 🙂
