My sister and I have decided to attend a Getting Started Meeting next Tuesday at Luke's Locker in Dallas. It may seem silly because we have already walked in the 3-day. And most likely, we have heard, read, or experienced everything they will tell us. (I'm a big researcher.)
In my opinion, Getting Started Meetings are an absolute necessity for NEW walkers. And quite honestly, I highly recommend them for repeat walkers. This is also a great opportunity for someone who has not decided whether or not the 3-day is something they really want to do. It's a no pressure way to find out the facts.
At a Getting Started Meeting you will get the opportunity to find out what the 3-day is all about. From fundraising, to training, to life at camp. This is an overview you won't want to miss. They will even give you some materials to help you get started with all of this. The best part is that you will have the opportunity to ask questions to people who have been there. There is no better preparation you can receive than talking to someone who has already walked.
My favorite part of the Getting Started Meetings is the inspiration you receive! You walk away feeling so inspired... so ready to make a difference... so energized to train, fund raise, and spread awareness for this great cause.
If you are walking in the 3-day and haven't attended a meeting, I encourage you to go. Come with us on Tuesday. Find one near you. You will be glad you did!
