TEMV Virtual Summer Walk 5.0

The TEMV Virtual Summer Walk is back for a fifth amazing year of promoting fun, health, community, getting outdoors, and physical fitness. This year’s theme is “TEMV Walks in Massachusetts” as we will be virtually walking though the state. Walk on your own wherever you want, however you want, and send Fay your weekly mileage. She’ll keep track of where we go and how far. The walk starts in July, so send an email to fay@temv.org to be added to the group. It should be a great summer to get out and walk! Runners and bikers are welcomed, too.

2018-19 Pledges Due

Please remember that if we have not received your pledge form or an initial pledge payment that specifically states it is intended for membership, then you are not considered a member and will miss out on the benefits of membership. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. These pledges are the regular income on which we all rely. You may also pay online, or contact Phebe, our co-treasurer, at treasurer@temv.org if you have any questions.
