“Are you going somewhere interesting? Somewhere far away? Somewhere that’s photogenic?

Consider bringing Flat VR Stanley along with you and documenting your journey with a few photos of him included. All you have to do is:

1) Print the photo;
2) Color it in and cut it out;
2 1/2) Optionally glue it to something more substantial;
3) Take a few photos; and
4) Email them to president@visaliarunners.org for inclusion on the website, or Facebook, or the VR newsletter. Have fun with it. Thank you!”
