• AGAIN IN 2009! Use ONLINE GIVING! We have set up a West Market team page on the national CROP Walk secure website. Click here to reach our West Market online team page. To join the online team…just click on the “Join Team” link in the dark grey box that says “West Market Street United Methodist Church”. Then just follow the directions to sign up and create your own page. You can use the site to email friends, family, etc. to encourage them to sponsor you, and offer them the option of making a gift online through a secure website. You will be able to watch as sponsors make gifts, and our team page will also be updated to show the total amount raised online. Check it out!
   
• Checks that you collect should be made payable to CWS/CROP. Plan to return envelopes to West Market Street UMC recruiters with collected donations on the day of the walk.
   
• ALL CHECKS AND MONEY that you collect must be turned in to:
   
  • Mary Belle Gilbert or Beth Loseke – from adult/family walkers
  • Watch for coming details for youth walkers

  The top sheet of your envelope torn off will be your registration sheet for the walk. You may turn in your envelope (including the top sheet) at our tailgate lunch. Mary Belle and Beth will remove the top sheet and turn in all of our individual registration sheets together as a group.
