"Chihuahuas in Motion"
The First Ever Chihuahua Walk
June 17, 2000
Stanley Park, Vancouver BC

How Long Is A Chi-lometer?

When your legs are only four or five inches long it is a very long way!  If
you don't believe me - read on.

Come to Prospect Point in Stanley Park, Vancouver BC on June 17, 2000 to see
the first-of-its-kind Chihuahua Walk and Carry.  It will be  a "short" walk
around a limited area of the park beginning at 10 a.m. and ending when the
last Chihuahua brings its owner back to the line.  Everyone is welcome to
come and enjoy the Walk and all the accompanying exhibits, contests,
information booths, prizes and raffles and of course the dogs.  We decided
to add the "and Carry" part as some of the senior Chis as well as some of
the more experienced couch-potatoes may require a helping 'carry' to get all
the way around!

The Chihuahua Walk and Carry is being organized by the Canadian Chihuahua
Rescue & Transport (CCRT).  This organization is dedicated to assisting the
Chihuahuas and Chihuahua-crosses who are not as fortunate as our own
pampered and much loved pets.  All the proceeds from the Walk will go
directly into the CCRT (http://www.ccrt.net) to assist even more Chihuahuas
in receiving much
needed medical care and finding Forever Homes.

If you and your Chihuahua buddy would like to join in the walk you are more
than welcome.  We are asking for a donation of $10.00 per person (so you can
entry ALL of your Chis for the same low fee). You may register at the Walk
site.  We hope to have a great turnout so come and help a good cause as well
as have a great time.

Perhaps you cannot make it to Vancouver but would like to participate in the
Walk.  We have even figured out how to make that possible!!
Any one who would like to stage a Chihuahua Walk and Carry in their own city
or town is certainly encouraged to do so.  We would like to see numerous
walks across Canada at the same time and on the same day.  Please keep to
the main concept and spirit of the Walk with all proceeds going directly to
CCRT.
If you would like help in promoting and setting up such a Walk please
contact Dot_Geib@netcom.ca

We are holding this in conjunction with our sister organization the
Chihuahua Rescue & Transport (CRT) in the US.  They will be turning over all
proceeds to their organization (the CRT).

If you still cannot join in a walk near you - please take your Chihuahua for
a walk at the same time wherever you are in support and recognition of the
efforts of those who are helping find homes for the many helpless,
abandoned, abused Chihuahuas everywhere.

If anyone is interested in assisting at the Walk, helping to sponsor the
Walk, willing to donate prizes or is interested in learning more about the
CCRT please contact:Dot_Geib@netcom.ca

Mark your calendars and please join us.
