Saturday Morning Grexwalks and Lunches
| 
Jun 26 22:01 UTC 2003 |
If you are near Ann Arbor, join us for a Grex Walk!
Every Saturday morning, between 10:15-10:30 am, a bunch of Grexers gather
for a 75-90 minute walk, followed by lunch at a local eatery.
Newcomers are most eagerly welcome; this is an opportunity to meet
and socialize with other Grex folks and get some exercise in the
bargain. Not all the walkers are Grex users: we have regular
attendance from friends, children and pets, and sometimes complete
strangers join us from our Event listing in the Observer.
Summer: see the plants, feel the heat. Bring a hat and
sunscreen, and maybe a water bottle and sunglasses.
Some of the after-walk lunches will be outdoors.
> Summer walks with small children are taking about 90 minutes,
> about 20 minutes longer than usual, so people usually make it
> to the lunch debriefing between 12:15 and 12:45.
Feel free to come to the walk but not lunch, or the lunch but not
to the walk. Everything's very informal.
Currently we pick a different place for lunch each week. Watch this
item and make suggestions if you have a favorite place that we could
visit. With few exceptions, any restaurant that receives a nomination
and a second will be put on the list for a future debriefing.
The upcoming lunch schedule can be seen with the !lunch command,
or on the web at
http://www.cyberspace.org/~krj/lunch.txt
On most Saturdays -- all except FIRST SATURDAYS -- the walk
starts in Gallup Park, and we gather by the parking lot near the
entrance on Fuller Road. Directions for how to find us are in
response #1 ( resp:1 ) of this item.
On the FIRST SATURDAY of each month, the walk is held at
Bird Hills Park.
Those dates will be: Saturday, July 5
Saturday, August 2
Saturday, September 6
Directions for how to find us in Bird Hills Park are in
response #2 ( resp:2 ) of this item.
Note: the walkers leave the gathering spots at 10:30 am SHARP.

Grexers meet in the parking lot near where the "*" is.
Please NOTE: we meet by the FIRST parking lot, before the bridge over
the river. If you need to drive over the bridge to find a parking
space, you'll have to backtrack to meet us.
