Below is a message from Jim Pollard on the May 18, 2008 Annual Garbage Trail Walk to Massacree HD. The flyer on their website was too big to attach to Yahoo messages so I've made it smaller so everyone from the New England and surrounding states can SAVE THE DATE!! Everyone who has participated in this great event has had so much fun, and you couldn't ask for a more beautiful area of this country to walk in! For all the spell-checkers, massacre isn't spelled wrong ;-) "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" is one of Arlo Guthrie's most prominent works - you can learn about its history here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice's_Restaurant

Hi!
Sunday, May 18th is the date for the 8th Annual Garbage Trail Walk to Massacree HD in Housatonic and Stockbridge in Western Massachusetts.
The Walk is a 6.6-mile route of sites made (in)famous in Arlo's classic "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" including the old Stockbridge Town Dump that was "Closed on Thanksgivin'" and the site of the Stockbridge Jail where Officer Obie arrested Arlo. It begins at the Guthrie Center, site of the 1965 "Thanksgivin' Dinner That Couldn't Be Beat" and ends at the site of the erstwhile Alice's Restaurant. VW microbusses will take you back to "The Church" from the end of the route. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Please join us.
Over the years we've raised a bunch of money for less popular HD-related causes, primary among them is Casa Hogar in Maracaibo, Venezuela. It's the free-standing HD clinic/care home for folks with HD run by Dr. Margot DeYoung. The money goes to basic medical supplies...bandages, antibiotics, etc. We've sent them well over 30K over the years. The current political situation has made it difficult over the last several years. So this year it all goes to the Casa and Dr. DeYoung. "Families helping families."
Abe Guthrie's band, Xavier, will play after the Walk back at the Church!
There's more info at www.freewebs.com/hdwalk. Or you can e-mail me at jjpollard@... or call me at 978-758-9610. If you like to kick in to the cause, make checks out to "Guthrie Center/HD Walk" and send them to me at 63 Goodwin Avenue, Lowell, MA 01852. We typically have a large handful of regular visitors to the site. It's fun getting together!
Anyway, we'd love to have you join us!!!
