Jack Kylie from the Senior Games has requested that we participate in
The Track and Field event by having a volksswalk. This event is on
Saturday July 24th. The opening ceremonies are from 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m.
At Tumwater High School stadium. We could then have our walk start
From 9 a.m. to noon. We do not have to participate in the opening 
Ceremonies. We can have a 5K and a 10 K walk that will be similar
To the run the senior games is having but with some changes. We are
Doing this primarily as a public relations event. Jeanne motioned that
We do participate and Karen seconded it. All agreed. Jim Younkins
Will be the liaison person. The senior games will pay for all expenses 
Involved.

This event will be February 19th, 20th and 21st next year. We will be
Renting the Lions Club so we can be inside. We will put down the
$100 deposit. Sue and Jeanne will be going down to Ocean Shores
periodically over the next few months to walk and change some of
the routes. If anyone else would like to go they are most welcome.
Sue is interested in having a walk from Moclips to Pacific Beach.

Arranging a group dinner at the event. It will probably be at 
Mariah’s at the Polynesian. Karen said she will check out the 
Food at Mariah’s on her next scrap booking trip to Ocean Shores.
