CAPITAL VOLKSSPORT CLUB MEETING MINUTES

The meeting was called to order by Sue at 7 pm. There were 15
Members present. Sue asked everyone about their very first 
Walk, some of our members have belonged to Volkssport for
A long time. The minutes were approved as written and the 
Treasurer’s report was passed around.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

If anyone is interested there will be a walk in Yakima on
November 27th it is called a turkey trot. It is not a sanctioned
Walk however. Sue passed around the Checkpoint which is the
AVA newsletter and a copy of The American Wanderer. Some
Clubs call free walkers, fun walkers, who may become members
In the future.

HOLIDAY WALK

Bonnie passed around a sign up sheet for helpers. We do still 
Need sweepers. At this time the worker’s 10 K. walk will be at
9 a.m on Saturday 4th December and the 5K worker’s walk will
Start at 10 a.m. Both walks should meet on the Capitol steps as in
Previous years. 
	If you are able to make some homemade cookies
For the Phoenix Inn Checkpoint it will be appreciated. You may
Bring them anytime to the Phoenix Inn on the day of the walk.
Perki is going to place ads. in the Aberdeen and Centralia 
Newspapers along with the ones in Olympia and Tacoma. Our 
Christmas walk will also be online at the Chamber of Commerce
Site. Mended hearts will receive a brochure too. 
	At the Phoenix Inn there will be tree patches for sale for $3 
And hatpins for $3.25. We still have 18 pins from last year which 
Will sell for $2. 

SEABREEZE

Sue is working on directions and maps. The insurance is ready
And Ocean Shores has been added as an addendum. The application
For the walk at the state park has been approved and the parks
Department is planning to send a crew out a few days before
Seabreeze to check if any areas need to be barricaded off.
	Start cards at the Seabreeze event will have event numbers
And/or abbreviations on them. There will also be a list of 
Challenges at the start and finish tables.
	We hope to have door prizes at the dinner on Saturday
Night. Sue will be checking to see if any businesses in Ocean 
Shores would like to donate something. We did get banquet liquor
License so people can bring their own alcohol. The dinner will
Be held at the Lion’s Club and catered by “Our Place” There
Will be room for 60 to 80 people and so far 15 people have paid
The $15 for the dinner which will be an Italian buffet.
	The worker walks for Seabreeze will probably be in
January. There will be more discussion in December about this.

MEETING LOCATIONS

Attendance has dropped off since we have been meeting at Panorama.
We are considering returning to Apollo’s. Sue and Bonnie are 
Also planning to check out The River’s Edge at Tumwater Valley
Golf course. It is under new management and it is supposed to be
Good and reasonable with a large room. We will discuss this further
At the Christmas party on December 14th.

MISCELLANEOUS

We have new start cards that are larger than the previous ones 
Karen and David Purtee donated larger boxes for them. There was 
A suggestion that walkers be given a cell phone number they can 
Call in case of issues that may arise on walks. Remember everyone
 Needs a start card, even children, although a parent will sign for 
Them. This is for insurance purposes.

WORKING A WALK

Sue passed around information about working a walk and she
Explained how to do it. The tips she gave are especially 
Helpful to first time workers.  Remember at an event even
Members pay $3 unless they are actually working then it will
Be $2.

The meeting adjourned at 8 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted by,

Lesley Willardson (Secretary)
