ON COLUMBUS DAY, OCTOBER 12, WE WILL SURPASS 5000 TOTAL ATTENDANCE. GET OUT!!!…AND LET’S SET A NEW RECORD!!. Bring a friend (or several) on Columbus Day, to “discover” downtown. Mark your calendar…Monday is a must-do for Meet Me at Maynard’s!! To-date out biggest night was 230 on September 21. Our total attendance is 4946 since our first MMM on April 13…1540 individual MMM Athletes. If everyone signed in (L), it would be higher. On Monday we had the biggest turnout (60) of new people, since June when the temps hit 100 degrees. That tells us that next Monday will very likely bring record attendance…LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN! If it does, we will celebrate by giving away twice as many gift certificates in the drawing. And don’t forget…if you bring two new people, you get a free t-shirt!
