Well folks the STOMP is not done...will not be done.....and can't be done
by December 5th. But the STOMP is not done doing good things either...
the STOMP team will finish up in January (about 7 good days left and about
150 miles) and will be training for the BATAAN DEATH MARCH (re-enactment)
in March. But our current mission is SO THAT OTHERS MAY PROSPER!!
Starting December 5, 2007 the STOMP will be teaming up with 'RADIO SHINE"
and working on the CHRISTMAS CRADLE PROJECT....you can bring baby care
items--diapers, bottles, clothing items, strollers, cribs, new car seats--for
young mothers who do not have the means to afford these much-needed baby
items. THE STOMP GOAL IS TO FILL A 16FT ENCLOSED TRAILER WITH THESE ITEMS.......www.radioshine.org
CRAM THE CRUISER: also starting December 5, 2007 we will have a FJ Crusier
out here and the STOMP GOAL IS TO CRAM THE CRUSIER with as much food as
possible for the YAVAPAI COUNTY FOOD BANK.
SHOP-WITH-A-COP- still raising money and things are looking good. SGT
Ben Scott with Prescott PD is very optimistic with the generous donations
of citizens in the tri-cities....let's help some kids that need alittle
extra this year!!!
ARIZONA NATIONAL GUARD EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND: Arizona National Guard soldiers
are deployed all over the world and sometimes things on the home front
break or an emergency happens where immediate funds are not available
to the family...this fund helps when things are needed....
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE DONATED.....IF YOUR INTERESTED IN DONATING
TO ANY OF THE ABOVE CAUSES PLEASE COME TO 6000 WILLOW CREEK ROAD (AIRPORT
CENTRE) TO DROP OFF ITEMS OR CASH/CHECK DONATIONS. YOUR HELP IS VERY APPRECIATED......
LAST BUT NOT LEAST.......THE STOMP WILL BE STARTING ON DECEMBER 14, 2007
AT 12 NOON AND WILL BE STATIONED (SITTING/STANDING/FREEZING/STOMPING)
UNTIL DECEMBER 15, 2007 (12 NOON) AT THE TRAILER AND THE CRUISER AT 6000
WILLOW CREEK ROAD.....IF YOU AND OR YOUR ORGANIZATION WOULD LIKE TO COME
OUT AND SPEND AN HOUR SHOWING YOUR SUPPORT I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU. I
WILL BE THERE 24 HOURS AND WOULD ENJOY THE COMPANY.
WE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF WATER/COFFEE/HOT CHOCOLATE AND OF COURSE FIRE WOOD
SO COME ON OUT. RADIO SHINE IS LOOKING AT DOING A LIVE REMOTE ON FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.....IF INTERESTED OR YOU HAVE SOME IDEAS PLEASE CONTACT US AT:

STOMP- so that others may prosper!!!
What a great day! I got no official miles in, but I got to visit and STOMP
around with 50 kids at the YMCA. These little kids are really doing more
miles stepping then I am stomping! A great job to Laura and all the other
teachers at the YMCA who are teaching the kids (manners/respect/and other
kid's things) and also tracking the miles in stepping around ARIZONA.
This kids have almost 600 miles of steps around the YMCA property. What
a blast it was for the STOMP crew to spend time with these leaders of
the future!
Also it's official "Justin Unger" is going to STOMP in October.
Those of you who don't know Justin are just missing out on a young man
who has musical talent that I can only dream about. He is also releasing
his first CD in about a month, but on this Friday night at 6:pm at "The
Heights" you can come and listen to some of his tunes plus meet this
fantastic artist. Justin has agreed to STOMP from Dosie Pit to Pioneer
Parkway sometime in the first couple of weeks of October. If you'd like
