| Official eNewsletter of Goodwill Easter Seals of the Gulf Coast | August 2010 |
Greetings!
We are just weeks away from our largest fundraiser of the year, Walk With Me, which provides awareness to the community, and the 7,300 served annually, about our programs and services at Goodwill Easter Seals. With our goal set at $175,000, we have a long way to go and a short time to get there. We know we can with supporters like you!
Leading up to the Walk event, we will introduce you to our 2010 Honorary Ambassadors, who represent those GES provides services to and who have benefitted from those services.
 To help those in our community like Madalyn, please go online to walkwithme.org/mobile to donate to "Team Madalyn," create your own team, become a business sponsor or participate as an individual walker. Walk With Me is a 1-mile symbolic walk for those living with disabilities. New this year is a 5k Fun Run to encourage more paricipants! Help any way you can!
 CAMP ASCCA MOBILE ROTARY CLUB was a success! The Mobile Rotary Clubs' sponsorship of 100 Mobile area campers, gave many people with disabilities an opportuntiy to experience a week of fun! For 26 years, the Mobile Rotary Club has made it possible for campers to attend Camp ASCCA, located on Lake Martin in North Alabama, where no campers has a limitation and everyone is just the same. With swimming, water tubing, ziplines, dancing and talent shows to occupy their time, campers gain self-confidence, life-long friendships and an opportunity to be themselves. A special thanks goes out to GES staff and volunteers from the Mobile Rotary Club.
  
Goodwill Easter Seals is proud to announce that this year's TASTE OF MOBILE, in association with the Mobile Chapter, Restaurant Association, will now be the event organizer and beneficiary of the funds raised. Taste of Mobile is set for October 28 at the Convention Center. Please contact Frank Harkins or Meagan Newsom for more information: info@gesgc.org.
