The money raised goes to support the Mental Health Association in NJ. This is a group that provides resource information to anybody who calls or logs on to their web site, they do advocacy work, education and training for the citizens of NJ. They are a free service that I have used on many occassions at work. </p> <p>One problem I see with many walk-a-thons or other fund raising events, is that the organizers are often "preaching to the choir". I would like to see people come to the event who have never used the mental health system (and hopefully will never have to). The reality is, everybody is impacted by mental health concerns on some level, those concerns may individual, or may be through loved ones, friends, co-workers, etc...</p> <p>If you are interested in walking, or know of somebody who may be interested you can follow this link <a href="http://mhanjwalk.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=321738" rel="nofollow">http://mhanjwalk.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=321738</a></p> <p>Pat </p> http://www.solisperformance.com/forum/topic/last-swim-day#post-141 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:42:21 +0000 kcook 141@http://www.solisperformance.com/forum/ <p>Guys tomorrow is the last morning of swimming, so if you can make it, we'd love to see you out there </p> http://www.solisperformance.com/forum/topic/monday-night-group-run#post-132 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 19:56:17 +0000 kristen 132@http://www.solisperformance.com/forum/ <p>Since there will be no spin class or boot camp on Monday, who's up for a group run?

However I must say that swimming in the ocean with the Jelly fish eggs, feels like swimming through a pool with rice in it. Once you get past that (which I did not) the conditions were great, calm surf crystal water.

A warm July night in trendy, upscale Westfield. Add a fast and scenic 5K, a great--and we mean great!--band and an amenities package that can't be beat. Did we forget the pizza? It all adds up to the 8th Annual Downtown Westfield 5K and Pizza Extravaganza.</p> <p>The fast, slightly modified new course will challenge you and you'll finish at Elm and Broad streets in the heart of downtown. Come early, stay late, as we entertain and feed you. We'll also throw in some neat surprises. (Hint--Embroidered hat to first 600 entrants.) We expect 2200 runners in 2009!</p> <p>Westfield is a snap to find using the Garden State Parkway or Route 22. Pre-registration guarantees a T-shirt to the first 2000 and a cap to the first 600. </p> http://www.solisperformance.com/forum/topic/concert-road-trip#post-67 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 10:11:57 +0000 kcook 67@http://www.solisperformance.com/forum/ <p>Guys, Payton as many of you know is a Professional Musician and has a concert next Wednesday in the City</p> <p>It's my group Alarm Will Sound (www.alarmwillsound.com). I was a founding member of this group, which is basically a classical group, but we're doing a concert of all IDM stuff ("Intelligent Dance Music"), which is electronic music that has its roots in techno, but it's very fast, with amazingly complex and crazy drum beats. We've transcribed all these tunes for live ensemble and it's very cool to hear and see. Our recording of this stuff reached #19 on the Billboard crossover charts.</p> <p>Here's the link to the gig: <a href="http://lepoissonrouge.com/events/view/386" rel="nofollow">http://lepoissonrouge.com/events/view/386</a></p> <p>Let us know if you can attend and we can meet for food or drinks before/after</p> <p>Keith </p> http://www.solisperformance.com/forum/topic/kids-triathlon#post-73 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 07:37:48 +0000 Carmine 73@http://www.solisperformance.com/forum/ <p>Anyone know a good tri for kids in the next month or two?

It is a 56 mile loop and quite challenging. There are many other loops as well. i believe there should be a few groups riding, so all paces should be represented.
