430 folks at MMM… the great weather and increased visibility and excitement from the previous week’s incredibly successful Rock & Stroll lead to 288 returnees, 112 new folks and about 30 kids. It was by far our biggest night for the weekly MMM events! It will only get better from here!

Runners and Walkers sent in opposite directions…Our goal was to reduce congestion and increase safety. This way, the walkers can see the runners coming and vice versa. It seems to have been a big hit. Please stop by next week and let a MMM volunteer know what you think of this new approach.

Over 25 folks helped with trash pickup…and were entered into a special drawing for a separate batch of goodies.  Tucson Clean and Beautiful provided bags and gloves. Every 3rd Monday of the month take a bag with you, pick up some trash and help us keep our downtown beautiful!! Then win a prize!!

“Bring a Teacher to Maynards”…May 3… In celebration of “National Teacher Appreciation Week” MMM will offer a free t-shirt to any MMM Athlete who is a teacher. We appreciate what you do for our children and for our community. Let us know you are a teacher, or bring your favorite teacher with you on May 3. We will provide teachers with an official free MMM t-shirt!!

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 “MMM Discounts” 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.

The Running Shop and Worldly Soles, our exclusive shoe sponsors have provided gift certificates for our 2010 drawings. Look for one of these gift certificates every week from now on…in addition to restaurant gift certificates. The Running Shop/Worldly Soles has offered a special/ additional gift certificate 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!!
