                     CAPITOL VOLKSSPORT CLUB MEETING MINUTES

President Sue Cook called the meeting to order at 7 pm. There were 20 
members present. Sue asked everyone which walk was their favorite. The
answers varied from local walks to ones in Greece and Korea.

We thanked Susan Berry and Perki Sweet for their hard work on the 
Sizzlin’ summer walk in August. We received good feedback on this walk
from the participants.

We applauded Bob Morrison for receiving an award at the NW Regional
Conference. The award was for his service as ESVA President and for the
development of the “Come Walk With Us” brochure.

Sue also mentioned the names of several of our members who received awards
for events and distance.

The minutes were approved as written and the treasurer’s report was passed
around.

Jim talked about our YRE’s; Scatter Creek walk now has a start point. It is the
Shell Station in Grand Mound. The South Tumwater walk is no longer a 
regularYRE. We are keeping it to use for the Senior Games next July. Peter
and Perki volunteered to be tenders for the Evergreen College walk. Until
the end of the year the start point will be the same but in January it will be
at the Safeway on Cooper Point Road.

Karen said the annual train trip will be on October 3rd. A sign up sheet was
passed around and if you didn’t sign up, but want to go, call Karen or email 
her. Some people will be leaving from Olympia and some from Tacoma.
The walk will be the Seattle downtown and waterfront walk. After 4k they
will stop for lunch and then do the rest of the walk. For those who are
interested Karen suggested a tour of the historic Panama Hotel. The hotel
is only 1/5 of a mile from the Union Station. Karen has information on the 
train fares and times.

Bonnie said the brochures for the Christmas walk are finished. We will 
be having an ad. in the Pathfinder. We also have pins for sale. The 
walk will start at 3 pm and end at 9 pm and we can still finish at the 
Capitol Building. There will also be a checkpoint at the Phoenix Inn
we will need cookies for the checkpoint-volunteers anyone!

Sue said the Sea Breeze brochures are ready and there will be many 
walks. Sue suggested a moonlight walk as there will be a full moon.
We would like to have dinner on one of the nights and Bonnie showed
us some menus. We decided on the Little Italy Buffet to be catered 
by Any Occasion Catering. It will be held at Our Place Restaurant and 
there should be room for 60 people. They do not have a liquor license
and it isn’t yet known if we can bring our own bottles. Susan made
a motion that we write a check for the Italian meal at 50% of 30
people for right now. We will need an exact count 7 days prior to the
event. People will need to pre-register. Peggy seconded the motion and
all agreed.

Unfortunately burma shave signs are not permitted on the side of
the road as suggested last month. We did decide to put an ad. in the
British Columbia Pathfinder (or its equivalent) Bonnie said it comes out
once a year in January. Bob presented a motion that we do this and 
Susan seconded it.

Sue suggested that since we have to provide refreshments for the ESVA
board members that we might consider crockpots with soup and rolls as
something a little different. There will be approximately 30 officers in
attendance.

Because the meeting needed to end by 8 pm there were several items we
didn’t have time to discuss. They were the 2012 NW Regional Conference,
information on working a walk, board items and announcements. We will 
discuss them at our next meeting which will be on Tuesday October 11th
at 7 pm at Panorama.
