Everyone benefits from walking. These benefits include: improved fitness, cleaner air, reduced risks of certain health problems, and a greater sense of community. But walking needs to be safe and easy. As we find problems --take heart; together we can find ways to make things better.

Getting started: Just pick a place to walk, like the route to school, over to the park, heading for one of the adjacent commercial steets. Then complete as much of the survey form as you can, identify problems, include any notes, and the concluding section on suggestions for improvement.

Then be sure to send us the survey -- by mail, e-mail, fax or just drop off at the office. And then take a moment to connect with us by going to our website at www.flamingomb.org and then signing up to receive posts to our blog and calendar notices.

We welcome the attendance and participation of all residents of the Flamingo Park Neighborhood at our monthly meetings.
