Monday was a record-breaking day…We set an all-time attendance record of 295, and surpassed a total attendance of more than 10,000 in less than a year of Meet Me at Maynards Mondays. Congrats MMM Athletes!
We had standing room only for the Humanities Week presentation on “Running in Antiquity”…Thanks go to the U of A and the Department of Humanities for a very interesting (and fun!) presentation about athletics in ancient Greece. I’ll bet you didn’t know that a gymnasium is a “place to be naked”. That’s just one of the fascinating facts we learned from Professor Mike Lippman. There were more than 35 people in the audience, including several who came to MMM just to hear him.
Cover of “Downtown Tucsonan”… Did you see yourself? What a great photo of vibrant Tucsonans building a vibrant downtown! Show it to all your friends and invite them to join you on April 12 for our first anniversary Rock n’ Stroll!! Click here to view
EARLY START TIME FOR First Anniversary “Rock and Stroll” on April 12…You won’t want to miss this grand celebration… sponsored by TMC Healthcare…four miles of live music, food, drink, and gifts. Be one of the first 300 returning MMM Athletes (or the first 200 newbies) and receive five MMM bucks for use in tipping bands and for purchases in participating businesses…good April 12 only. Mark your calendars NOW!! You may want to get off work early, as check-in begins at 4:30, with walkers leaving at 5:30 and runners at 6:00. Of course, you may begin at any time after 5:30, as that is when the music will begin. See a draft of the participant handbook on the website.
