[tn-bird] Whooping Cranes Over Tennessee

Whooping Cranes Over Tennessee is seeking your help.  We are now registering 
persons to walk in the Walk-a-thon that begins on Thursday,October 10 at the 
Tennessee-Kentucky state line  and ends in Chattanooga at the Tennessee River 
Park on Saturday October, 19.  
For those who would like to help make a difference, you may walk yourself for 
one or miles along the route, or you may be an absentee sponsor and raise 
funds for and sponsor one or more walkers in your place.  Our first two 
walkers are brave souls who have taken the challenge to walk two of the worst 
miles of the route- steep, heart attack curvy mountain terrain.  Their ages? 
85 and 83 respectively- Dave and Robbie Hassler.  Thank you both.
Please join them if you can. Register on line or request Absentee Sponsorship 
information.  Every one can take part in this endeavor.
