The Fourth Annual Friends of the Poor Walk was successful, if a little damp. We set up two canopies, not really sure we'd need them. Temperatures were cool and sky was clear, but spotty showers were predicted for the weekend and something was building to the east. Unfortunately, the something building turned into something falling while we were inside for mass and something loud while we were out walking. The spotty showers became a full blown thunderstorm while we were doing the two miles, with lightning striking so close it knocked out power to downtown Waukesha.
There was plenty of delicious food courtesy of Catholic Financial Life at walk's end, now moved indoors due to weather. I don't even want to tell you how many hotdogs I ate, so tasty off the grill with buns so fresh!
We appreciate everyone who joined us for the walk or donated to the poor. Especially would like to thank Ruth Anne White for all the many hours she once again volunteered to organize this walk. With her skills the path was made smooth and the direction straight.
