Walk Day Information

NAMIWalks NH 2012 Information Sheet

1. What do I do when I get to the Walk?

Do I need to go to registration?

Please review the following information – as it applies to you:

A. Team Captains – Go to registration to hand in money, get t-shirt tickets for their team members that have raised $100 or more, and get a free raffle ticket for each walker (1 per walker please).

Team Captains will collect all money from each of their Walkers, make sure that each walker has registered (on-line or via paper form mailed in), and place any/all donations in the Team Captain Large Envelope to hand in at Registration. Please complete the information on the TC Envelope to ensure that donations are credited to the proper team and walker.

B. Walkers on a Team - If you are on a Team and need to give money to your Team Captain on Walk Day you can do so at the “Team Meeting Area.” There will be a listing of all registered Teams and meeting areas which are designated by different colored balloons. There will be 10 or more teams meeting in the same general area.

C. Individual Walkers that need to hand in money. Should go to the Registration are marked “Individual Walkers.”

D. People that are not yet registered. ANYONE – whether on a team or not – that has not registered prior to Walk Day – must complete a Registration Form. If you are on a Team please give it to your Team Captain. If you are walking individually please turn it in to the “Individual Walkers” section of the Registration Tent.

Please note: There will be people greeting you as you arrive at the tables to help direct you to which table you need to go to hand in money, to register, etc. If you have registered online or have mailed in your registration form you are all set – you do not need to do anything else on Walk Day as far as registration is concerned.

2. Where will I meet my Team?

Team Meeting areas will be listed at the Walk Site. Areas will be designated by the Balloon Color appearing on the Team List. There will be 8 areas indicated on the area map and list – each area will have a balloon bouquet marking the area to meet in. There will be approximately 10 teams meeting in each area. Please do not move the balloon bouquet markers.

3. What if it rains?

We will hope for sunshine, but the Walk is a rain or shine event!

4. Will snacks/water be available?

Yes, there will be water and free snacks at the Refreshment Tent. There will also be a water distribution point – and water stop for dogs – on the course.

5. Where will the bathrooms be?

We will have port-a-potties on site. There will be a handicap port-a-potty as well.

6. What are some things I can do between now and Walk Day?

Please continue to send out reminder Emails to your friends, family members, co-workers, etc., reminding them about the Walk, thanking those that have already supported you, and giving the opportunity for others to as well. A great time to also do this is the night before Walk Day!
