* Bermuda is always being voted one of the best dive spots in the world.

* The entire Bermuda community is invited to participate as the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bermuda (BBBS) has rescheduled their Wacky Walk-a-thon fundraiser to Sunday, May 18th starting at 8.30am from Charities House on Point Finger Road. A prize will be given to the Wackiest Walker so all participants are invited to don their craziest attire and join in the fun. You can wear mismatched clothes, costumes or a funny hat, the crazier the better and the only limit is your own imagination. If you’d rather not wear something wacky, you are asked to wear a white T-shirt instead. This fundraiser for BBBS is also an opportunity for students to gain 2 community service hours. The walk-a-thon will be a 5K starting at Charities House going throughout Hamilton and back and will be preceded by a warm up activity. Students who complete a pledge sheet will earn an additional hour of community service in recognition of the time it takes to go out and seek pledges. Walkers who do not get pledges are asked to make a donation of $15. Snacks will be provided by the walk’s sponsors Dasani, Kashi and Coca Cola. For more information, contact the BBBS office on 232-2802 or bbbs@logic.bm.
