			CAPITOL VOLKSSPORT CLUB 
			          MEETING MINUTES

The meeting was called to order by Sue at 7 pm. There were 11
members present and one guest. Sue asked everyone if they walked
on World Walking Day and five of our members did so.

The Treasurer’s report was passed around and Sheila will now put
donations with the walks instead of recording them separately, since
we get a lot of donations. The minutes were approved as written.
Harry will continue to send the minutes, the checkpoint and the 
Treasurer’s Report to everyone. If you have not been getting them
please verify your email address with Harry.

Sue asked if we should send a lump sum yearly to Harry for
Newsletter expenses. A motion was presented by Jim to give
Harry $60 each fiscal year and allow him to bill the club for
additional expenses as needed. It was seconded by Perki and 
approved by a majority of those present.

AVA

Sheila agreed to be our delegate at the Iowa Convention in June.
Susan made a motion that we pay her registration fees which are
$70 a day for three days. Perki seconded it and all agreed.

Bob Morrison is running for Treasurer and Sam Korff for
President. Sheila will vote for them. Regarding the Vice-President’s
position we will leave it up to Sheila as there may be more
candidates. Bonnie will serve one more year as Secretary.

CVC

Senior Games Report—There will be no free T. shirts this year but
there will be something free. Jim is finishing up the route for the walk
that day. He passed around a sign up sheet for helpers.

We do not have a nominating committee for CVC officers for
next year. We will need a new Vice President and Sue announced
that she will not be able to be President next year. We will ask Harry
to send out a notice that we need volunteers for these positions. Linda
will continue to do the Thursday walks and once a month she suggested
we go farther afield.

On May 28th at the Olympia Center downtown there will be an
Active Senior Health Conference and we need volunteers to do 4
10 minute talks about CVC. Sue said she will do it unless someone
else would like to.

Sue was able to reserve a shelter at Tumwater Historical Park
for our annual picnic. It will be on July 12th and we can have the 
shelter between 3 pm and 8 pm for $50. Bob made a motion that
we do so and Susan seconded it. Sheila wrote a check for Sue to 
send to the Parks Department.

Susan said we can use the former visitor’s center on the Capitol
Campus as a start point for the Christmas Walk. It is now run by the
City of Olympia. The person running the center will be happy to
to put information into several newspapers about the event also.

Sheila said we are being charged for start cards but we are 
allowed to make our own as long as all the information is on them.

MEMBERSHIP

Karen updates the roster every few months. We still have some t-shirts 
available for purchase.

The meeting adjourned at 8.15 pm.
