CAPITOL VOLKSSPORT CLUB

				Minutes

The meeting was called to order at 7 pm by President Susan Berry.
There were 23 members present. The minutes were approved as written
And the treasurer’s report was passed around. The new challenge this
Year is landscape and Bonnie received a patch for completing the landscape 
Challenge.

OLD BUSINESS

Sue thanked everyone who worked at the last event at St. Peter’s
Hospital. She said several members of mended hearts walked
Farther than they thought they could.

Penny reported that the Walk Me Home group had a great time
As did the Capitol Kid’s Connection who piggy backed on
The event. The Capitol kid’s Connection received $1500
From sponsors and the Walk Me Home group raised over $500.
They want to team up again next year. The Olympian donated
Space for Walk Me Home to publicly thank us. We also had some
Walkers from Weight Watchers.

NEW BUSINESS

We have a walk on July 24th in conjunction with the Senior Games.
Jim is the trailmaster and he will be using the South Tumwater walk
With minor variations. It will start at 9 am on Saturday July 24th.
The worker’s walk will be on Friday July 23rd at 5.30 pm and
The trail will be marked at that time. Jim passed around a sign
Up sheet.

Jeanne suggested that we have some shorter options on these 
Promotional events.

AUGUST 19TH WALK

Perki volunteered to be co-trailmaster with Susan for this walk.
It will be a map only walk on a Thursday night. It is in conjunction

Karen made a motion that the club front the money for shirts when we

Placed. Sheila made a motion that we order nine more T. shirts in
