Will be divided into 1 k. increments. The members of Mended Hearts will
Be manning those check points.

Fred Feidler from Mended Hearts said that Weight Watchers has a walk 
Scheduled for June 5th and they may piggy back on our walk. Fred passed

NEW BUSINESS

E.S.V.A. REPORT

Our delegate was unable to attend however Sheila did attend and she said it
Was a short meeting where they elected the officers and Susan was re-elected
As the area coordinator. There is a new challenge which is bakeries, clock towers,
Fire stations and post offices. There is also a new challenge called SNOB which
Means if you are on a walk with someone important in ESVA or AVA you get
A stamp. Sheila reported that the Lilac City walk was wonderful. Nancy Reagan
From ESVA said the Pathfinder is losing money.

We will need people to be on the nominating committee to elect new officers
In July. Perki Sweet has volunteered to be our new publicity chairman.

SEA BREEZE

Sue Cook was unable to attend the meeting so discussion was shelved for the night.

OTHER BUSINESS

It will be our turn to host the ESVA meeting next year. In the past we have hosted
It at the Capitol Building. Generally it is a meeting and a walk. We are interested
In getting a committee together to discuss walks for 2011. We will talk further
About this issue at our next meeting if you are interested please let Susan know.
Karen asked if members would like new shirts of jackets perhaps with new club
Logos. She can order whatever size or style anyone wants. We voted to meet next
Time at Panorama, however we do need to decide where we will meet permanently
As our year round brochures and the Pathfinder will need to be changed.
