Meet the Rescue Hooters!

Walk or crew in 2013?  That was the question.  With walking, you can register pretty much whenever you want.  With crewing, however, especially if you want to be on a specific crew, you need to register ASAP.

Having become closer and closer over the past year, I decided I was going to ask my friend and co-worker Celena if she would crew with me.  She agreed without hesitation--one of the many traits I love about her!

We decided to try to get a coveted sweep van assignment, and we did!

Sweep van crews work in teams of two driving a commercial van up and down the route each and every day, all day, to pick up any walkers that need/want to be transported to the next pit stop.  Too tired?  Too sore?  Need a break?  Take a sweep van.

Although it's a lot of work, it's also a lot of fun, because you get to theme out your van and have fun with it!  There is, for example, a couple that always does a hippie van...they dress in tie dye and play 60s music...it's great!  Last year there was also a Pirates of the Caribbean van and an Airline themed van, among others.

Brainstorming for a theme, Celena came up with RESCUE HOOTERS, a plumbing theme.  We aren't sure what we're going to do for costumes and decorations yet, but here is our logo:

My dad even had patches made for us in Thailand!

I'll keep you posted as we get closer to November!
