CAPITOL VOLKSSPORT CLUB MEETING MINUTES

The meeting was called to order by Sue at 7.00 p.m. there were
14 members present. The Senior News and the American Wanderer
Were passed around so we could see the great articles and photos
About our club.

We introduces ourselves by telling which walk we did last and
When we did it.

The Senior Games event was a great success- kudos to Jim and 
Everyone else who helped. We had 138 walkers and we made $75
Profit. We have been invited to do it again next year. A motion was
Made by Jim to get it sanctioned. It was seconded by David and
All agreed.

Susan is Trail master for the sizzling summer walk on August 19th
At Burfoot Park. Sign up is 3pm to 6 pm finish by 9 pm. A sign 
Up sheet was passed around for helpers and we need more.

The year rounds are the same as last year. The walk box for
The South Tumwater walk is not at Lord’s Gym, new location
Is not determined yet. We also have to verify where the start
Point is for the West Olympia walk.

Sue passed around “Save the Date” flyers for Sea Breeze in
February. It will also be the quarter page ad. In the Pathfinder. Sue
Suggested we do some Burma shave type signs on the road to 
Sea Breeze. She suggested we have about eight signs, the last two
Will name our club and the location.

Sue thought we might like to have a raffle where everyone who
Wishes contributes a dollar, then half goes to the club and half to
The winner.

The Younkins would like to schedule another train trip-this time
To Seattle on a Sunday in the fall. Sheila made a motion that we 
Do it and Jim seconded it. Date and time to be decided later.

We are going to meet at Panorama until the end of the year
But we are open to other locations if anyone finds a good one.

We discussed whether we want to host the 2012 NW Regional
Conference. Sue will email Dave and ask what the expectations
Are. Jeanne made a motion that we investigate it further and
Karen seconded it.

Jeanne suggested we have training on how to handle start tables.

Jim will be the contact person for the August 20th walk to
Mount Rainier as Linda will not be here.

Sue would like to have some worker walks early in preparation
For Sea Breeze in February. Perhaps the club would enjoy such
A walk in September and have a picnic at Griffiths Priday Park
Afterwards? More discussion in September.

Sue mentioned that at the board meeting it was brought up 
That the publicity chair should be an officer. It would involve
A change in the by laws. This will also be discussed next month.

President Sue and Vice President Jim are open to any ideas
Or suggestions for improving our club.

The meeting adjourned at 8. 05 pm.
