May 10 Day of Event Planning

NAMIWalks for the Mind of America on May 10^th at Sawyer Point – Registration 8 am and the walk starts at 9 am. Parking at Sawyer Point lot and Public Landing are free.

This year the activities will be moved from the Cincinnatus statue and tunnels to the Serpentine wall area and promises to be bigger and better.

When you come from the parking lot, the first area you will see is the Cincinnatus statue and tunnels – there will be signs to guide you. Go through the left or middle tunnel and bear left towards the Serpentine wall and you will see tents ahead. The first series of tents includes, on the far right, the photographer’s tent and on the plaza (cement stage) above the photographer’s tent are two tents marked Registration. Meet your team to the right of the photographer’s tent in the grassy area.

NOTE: If you park at the Public Landing come along the walk by the Serpentine wall to the end of the tents and you will see the photographer and Registration tents.
