Communities Responding
to Overcome Poverty

Grand Island Dispatch, October 5, 2007


Erika Galbo’s support for the CROP Walk is written all over her face. Galbo, of Kenmore, was one of 110 walkers who raised money for worldwide poverty relief.

     
Dozens of community members took a six-mile walk from Beaver Island State Park to Kaegebein Elementary School and back during the CROP Walk on Sept. 30. Joan Sponn hands a glass of water to a participant of the CROP Walk. Sponn, Rachel Spiker, left, and Sponn’s daughter, Alexandra, members of Girl Scout Troop 566, offered free refreshments to walkers along the route to Kaegebein Elementary School.

Girl Scout Troop 566 also provided free apples to walkers from their table inside Kaegebein Elementary School, the approximate halfway point of the six-mile walk. Linda Crist, above, enjoyed her first apple so much, she had another for the long walk back to Beaver Island State Park.
