		CAPITOL VOLKSSPORT CLUB MEETING
		                               MINUTES

The meeting was called to order by Sue at 7:pm. There were 14
members present. Sue asked everyone what the best and worst
things were about Sea breeze. The variety of walks was very much
appreciated. The dinner was an unqualified success. The moonlight
walks were wonderful and most of the comments from walkers
were positive. 

On the other hand the Lion’s Club building was a 
bit cool. We decided we should charge more for the dinner and we
should try to do a better job of helping people decide which walks
to do. We may use only one card for all the walks. We had 264
walkers who did 671 walks and we made a profit of $335. Sue 
thanked all the door prize donors and the cookie bakers.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Bob Morrison has applied to be the AVA Treasurer.

The South Tumwater walk was not renewed, we are saving it for
the Senior Games walk that will start at Tumwater High School.

The Thursday morning walks are continuing. In May we will start
our evening walks. Perki presented a motion that we have them on
the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month and the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays.
I am not sure about the 5th Tuesday as sometimes it’s the book club meeting.
By varying the days it will give working people more choices. Bonnie
seconded it and all agreed.

Sue asked if anyone was interested in a group walk in Port Angeles.
Jim suggested that we might do it in August. We could meet up with
a club from that area.

Perki is still doing the publicity for the Senior Games but she won’t
be able to attend.

Sue will be manning a booth for Seniors at the Shore in May in
Ocean Shores. She will also lead a 5 K. walk. If anyone would like
to help her please let her know.

ESVA MEETING REPORT

Bonnie told us they discussed the Northwest Regional Conference for
2012. Green River Community College is being considered as a 
possible site, but it has limited housing. There are two motels in
Auburn however that could be used. Dates being considered are the 
second week in August 2012 from Wednesday to Sunday then classes
could be held on the Thursday and Friday to discuss the 5 year plan. 
There could also be walks at Northwest Trek and Crystal Mountain
as well as the Tacoma waterfront. Pre-conference events could happen
on or around the Olympic Peninsula.

Bonnie also told us that the AVA National Executive Council fired
Nicole Rogers as Executive Director. Then AVA President, Kurt Myron
and AVA Vice President Wayne Holloway resigned. The NEC selected
Dennis Michele as interim president and Marvin Stokes as interim vice
president.

A motion to put the Pathfinder online was defeated. The motion to
terminate the new walker free home delivery certificate for the 
Pathfinder passed.
