The current goal for participants is to walk 100 miles between June 2 and Aug. 30. Each walker that turns in a completed mileage log will receive a t-shirt and will be automatically entered in a gift basket drawing on Aug. 30. There is no charge to join this club but registration is required. Visit tmcomservices.org for more information, to register and to print a mileage log. Logs are also available at the TMCS office.
