AIDS Walk Information.

Hello dear Library Club Members!

Tons of things have happened since the last blog update.  The first thing that's coming up this weekend is the Aids Walk Los Angeles.  If you haven't registered, do it now!  Click Here then select join a team, then click "Please Select a Team" and "Cerritos College Library Club" will be listed.  After you have selected your team, feel out your information and then submit.  It's all very easy! 

INFORMATION!!!

AIDS Walk Los Angeles Day of Event Information: 
Date: Sunday, October 17


Time: 
8:30 a.m. Sign-In
9:15 a.m. Opening Ceremony
10:00 a.m. Walk Begins


Location: West Hollywood Park (647 N. San Vicente Blvd. in West Hollywood)


Length: 10 kilometers / 6.2 miles


The AIDS Walk will start and end in West Hollywood Park, at the corner of Melrose Avenue and Santa Monica Blvd.


In order to ensure the safety of the walkers, the Departments of Transportation for the City of Los Angeles and the City of West Hollywood will establish the following street closures from 6:00 a.m. until approximately 2:00 p.m.

Meeting Spot for Club Members:

Transportation is scheduled to be the Los Angeles Metro leaving around 7 am from the Norwalk Station in Norwalk, CA. The Norwalk Station is located at the interchange of the 605 and the 105, parking is free or you can just have someone drop you off. I would suggest buying a day pass, they are available for $6.oo, and they can be purchased at the station in the kiosk it will also be used to board the 550.  DO NOT BOARD THE TRAIN W/o A PASS!  We will be catching the green line to the 550 express bus all the way to the walk.  THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE BUS WILL HAVE A ROUTE CHANGE DUE TO THE AIDS WALK, if this happens we will have to carpool.  I will update if this happens, we will also need to know who will be willing to drive.

 

Preparation:

Remember guys, we will be walking 6.2 miles so try and prepare your body sometime before if your body isn't used to walking this far.  Drink plenty of water days before the walk to make sure your body will be well hydrated.  Don't forget to stretch before the walk and wear comfortable walking shoes.  You don't have to go out and buy some fancy schmancy walking shoes but also DO NOT come in your flip-flops or your ballerina flats.  Again, keep in mind we will be walking for 2-3 hours straight.  There will be stations during the walk that provide water and knick knacks so also bring a backpack so you won't have to waste plastic bags.  

IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES TO OUR PLANS WE WILL MAKE SURE TO UPDATE THE BLOG OR OUR FACEBOOK PAGE SO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR UPDATES.  FOR ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AIDS WALK VISIT THE AIDS WALK FAQ'S OR YOU CAN MESSAGE OR COMMENT THIS BLOG OR OUR FACEBOOK PAGE.
