Snow shmo (please let it snow)

Hello, I am including all of Jack's email about December's walks. I will include weekly updates as usual. I am almost (8,000 words to go, I can hear the cheering at the finish line) done with my NaNoWriMo novel. Don't expect to read it soon, but it has been a fun, learning experience. Lots of fun stuff included here.
talk with you soon,
Cecile

SNOW SHOE
Of course we need snow to get started but everything seems to be
falling into place. We cannot include dates in our December Walk The Walk Schedule for the Snowshoe events because we don't know when it will snow.
BUT
If you have gotten this e-mail you are on our list to get immediate
informational updates as it become available.

OUR FIRST EVENT WILL BE HELD AT FT TUTHILL AT NOON ON EITHER A
SATURDAY OR SUNDAY(Exact date undetermined)
We will start from the Square Ramada across from the Coconino County Parks and Recreation Building at Ft Tuthill. It's located next to the Coconino County
Fair Grounds.

If you are a beginner that's OK.
If you are an advanced Snow Shoee that's OK too.
We will have routes for both ability levels.
We will not have any snow shoes available to be used unless otherwise noted.
You will be responsible for renting or bringing your own snow shoes.
Complete rental information will be available next week via e-mail
