Absolutely beautiful weather greeted members of the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northern Darkness Garrisons early Saturday morning for the 10th annual Walk Now for Autism Speaks. A link to photos will be added once they are fully updated to the MW photobucket account.

As of this posting, Walk Now for Autism Speaks has raised $1,126,384 during the Chicago Walk.
This number may go up, as donations continue to roll in, and can be tracked via their site and clicking on the map, selecting the Chicago event.

Thank you all for making this a truly wonderful morning and event all around!

Another great event, everyone!

And for Legion Charity tracking:
Approximately three hours, with 14 volunteers, makes it about 42 trooper-hours total! :thumbsup:

Thanks Brian....
you know I would be pestering someone for that figure.

I am going to hold off for about a week on completing this for the Blog and for our Garrison report as I do know that the figures do indeed go up after the event is over.

:wink:
