Do you have a traveling MMM t-shirt photo? Send it along!!

Wear your MMM shirt to the Tucson Clean and Beautiful ceremony on Monday, March 15, at 4:00 PM on the site of our sign on Broadway. Let’s show them a “sea” of MMM shirts for the cameras. Take a look at our sign, driving west on Broadway, just before Rattlesnake Bridge.

Are you a 15X MMM Athlete?…If so, there is a MMM cap waiting for you. Just check at the table AFTER the walk/run. These Bay Six caps are of high quality tech fabric…you are going to love them. If you can’t possibly wait for your 15th MMM walk/run, you may purchase a cap for $15.

YOU MUST CHECK WEBSITE FOR DISCOUNT DETAILS….Your route guide will list participating businesses and phone numbers…but no details. You will find up-to-date discount specials on the website only. It’s easy…just click on the “Discount specials” tab at the top of the homepage each Monday.

Parking is always free after 5:00 PM in the Madden Media lot…345 E. Toole, just west of Maynards.

Route changed slightly in January to accommodate walkers who would like a shorter route and runners who want to run 4 miles…The first part of the route has not changed. Walkers may opt to walk 2 miles by turning left off of Broadway onto 5th St. and returning to Maynard’s. Others will continue east. After we cross Rattlesnake Bridge follow the sidewalk all the way to 4th Avenue. At this point walkers may opt to walk 3 miles by turning back under the underpass and return to Maynard’s. Others will continue north on the east side of 4th Ave. to University, cross over to the west side of 4th Ave. and return to Maynards. Of course you can turn back at any point along 4th Ave. The full 4-mile route will take us past all participating restaurants and bars, including Che’s, Shanty, The Hut, Bison Witches, Brooklyn Pizza Company, Bumsteds, Delectables and O’Malley’s. Enjoy!!

You will also find news of importance about Meet Me at Maynard’s. There may come a day that we change our location for one Monday…like a field trip! Wouldn’t you want to know that before you arrive? J

The Running Shop and Worldly Soles, our exclusive shoe sponsors have provided gift certificates for our 2010 drawings.

They have offered special/ additional gift certificates just for those who pick up trash on the 3rd Monday of each month. Be there!!!

Our MMM band The Determined Luddites is offering two CDs for sale at the check-in table. “…Better Luck Yesterday” and “String Theory”. They are only $15…take a look.

Get Out!!
