Dear Friends and Members of Club Fat Ass,All CFA events are close to my heart, but I'd like to draw your attention to a very special weekend next month. Jesper Olsen, the only human to have completed a documented run around the globe, will be sharing his images and experiences at the Centennial Theater in North Vancouver, BC on March 24. In Jesper's honour, Craig Moore will be hosting the Vancouver World Run as a free CFA event on Sunday March 26 Don't miss Jesper's account of almost 2 years on the run and a chance to win awesome draw prizes. Tickets are now on sale here. I had the opportunity to meet Jesper as he passed through Vancouver last year. His humble demeanor and great storytelling style makes him one of the most inspirational speakers I have ever seen. I hope you can join me for the talk, the run or both.
If you've not done so yet, be sure to take a look at some of your fellow Club members doing what they do in their Club t-shirts. The opportunity to vote for your favorite photo in the 2005 Traveling Colors Contest will soon be coming to an end, so please don't miss the opportunity to voice your opinion.
Happy Trails,
Sibylle Tinsel
Chief Executive Fat Ass |
