CAPITOL  VOLKSSPORT CLUB MEETING MINUTES
The meeting followed our annual picnic which was held at Tumwater Historical
park.  Sheila opened the meeting by saying that we need a new president and vice president.  Diane made a motion that Susan Berry serve as President and Jim Younkins remain as Vice-President.  Bob seconded it and all agreed. Susan continued with the meeting. The minutes were approved as written and the Treasurer’s report had already been emailed to everyone. Susan said she is open to suggestions about running the club.

SENIOR GAMES

Bob Morrison was elected to be the new AVA Treasurer.
As of July walkers can receive an event stamp every time they walk the same walk; previously you could only receive distance credit for repeating the same walk in a specific time period.
