By Marcia Nixon
Chapter Administrator
The Pennsylvania Chapter CRS
participated in the Walk to benefit the
Multiple Sclerosis Society of
Pennsylvania on Sunday, April 10.
President Helen Miernicki,
Secretary Wendy Knorr, Administrative Assistant
Marcia Nixon and PAR Accountant Jim Antonio
walked on behalf of the Chapter. Many others
gave monetary donations to the cause.
To date, the Chapter has raised $864 for the
Society through donations. This money will
make a difference in the lives of all people living
with MS within Central Pennsylvania, as well as their
family, friends and caregivers. More importantly,
the money raise will go towards research and

from across Central PA, geared up with sneakers
and team shirts and even dogs waiting to get started on their 5k walk.
Though the Hershey route was very scenic and beautiful, nothing could slow down the walkers,
not even the chocolately aroma coming from Chocolate Avenue.
The race ended where it started, at the Star Pavilion, where we were able to get our picture taken
crossing the finish line. HOORAY! Participants also enjoyed a lunch, supplied by sponsors, and
celebrated a great day for the MS Society of Central Pennsylvania.
Thank you, PA CRS Chapter for all of your hard work and for all who participated and donated.
Enter for a chance to win a Xerox Travel Scanner 100.
Tickets are $5 each, or 5 tickets for $20. Winner will be
chosen at the PAR Business Meetings in May. See
any chapter officer for your!
entry form.
