THIS MONDAY!!! OCTOBER 3
Bring your best, or worst, old running shoes!
We will join downtown in a redistribution and recycling effort. Special drawing for everyone
who brings old shoes….AND
a prize for person who brings the most shoes.

So, gather them from your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. There is no such thing as a pair tooooooooo bad. If they are wearable, somebody who needs them more than you do will get them. If they are really disgusting, they will
be recycled and turned into something much more attractive. :-)
Sneakers collection
The green dot means us!!
City Hall is moving their collection bin to El Presidio Park, so we can walk/run by with our shoes! If you bring lots of shoes, you won’t have to carry them all.
We will let everyone carry a pair to the collection bin. What a photo op!!

Let’s join our downtown in this fun effort!

COMPASS
COMPASS FOR YOUR CAUSE!
Did you know you can send a gift to SAR with every
signature-based (not pin) purchase you make with your BBVA Compass check card? All you have to do is call 1-800-COMPASS and tell them to connect your BBVA Compass account to SAR #95320. That’s it. Then every signature-based transaction sends .25% of every purchase to SAR.

Just imagine what MMM could do for SAR!!

YOU OPEN A NEW ACCOUNT…THEY SEND SAR $50!!

If you don’t have an account at BBVA Compass, open one today, and and tell them to connect your BBVA Compass account to SAR #95320. Then make five transactions (use your check card five times for any purpose) within six weeks of opening your new account, and SAR will get a $50 contribution from the bank.

TRAVELING MMM T-SHIRTS AND CAPS!

Send yours today!

Shawn and Susan

Shawn & Susan Halversen, standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.

Such a fine sight to see.

George and Lissa

Here are George and Lissa Federico in Fairbanks, Alaska.

So you weren’t WEARING your shirt???

Are you 50 years old or older?

RTA

Wouldn’t you like to live younger longer?

If you are ready to commit to a lifetime of exercise, responsible eating (no diets allowed) and community. That last part means you can’t do it alone. You just gotta share your goals with someone, and support others.

Are you willing to be accountable for your commitment to being stronger longer?  Want to keep an online journal and share your success? Yes?…Then we want you to join our over-50 fitness movement!!

Our best advice is…buy the book “Younger Next Year” today!!

If you can’t do that, we will loan you one (while supplies last)

starting September 12. But you will want your own copy…read it with

a highlighter in one hand…you’re gonna need it.

“Rock the Ages” is free and coming in October, brought to you

by the creators of MMM and sponsored by

Blue Cross Blue Shield and TMC Healthcare.
