May Potluck with Free Lecture by Don Moseman, aka “Walking Don” Saturday, May 13th, Socializing & Appetizers:6:00 p.m., Dining:6:30 p.m., Lecture:7:30 p.m. Location: IOA. After the Potluck, Don will discuss “Healthy Diet and Walking” and show slides from his 2nd walk in 1998 from Boston to San Francisco/Mill Valley via the northern route. He showed his slides from his 3rd walk across the U.S. at our October 2005 Potluck. His remarkable walking feats were written up in the San Francisco Chronicle Nov. 19, 2004. Educational and inspiring, be sure to bring friends, old and young to meet Don. At the age of 66, he is now planning his 4th walk across the U.S. We will be planning a greeting party when he reaches San Francisco sometime during the summer.
