			CAPITOL VOLKSSPORT CLUB
			PLANNING MEETING MINUTES

The board members and other members interested in planning activities for next year
met at Bayview Thriftway on Tuesday 26th July at 6 pm.

Susan opened the meeting by starting a discussion about the plans for our regular
meetings. Our August meeting will be at lunch after walking in Grayland on
Saturday August 20st.  So the next regular meeting will be on September 13th
at Apollo’s with dinner at 6 pm and the meeting to follow at 7 pm. The
Board will meet at 5 pm at Apollo’s that day. The presentation after 
the meeting that evening may be given by the Morrison’s about their
trip to the AVA Convention in Iowa, or Sam Korff may talk about the
New Trailmaster Guide.

In October there will not be a regular meeting because the annual train trip
will be on Thursday October 13th and those members going will discuss
any relevant information on the journey. When there is no regular meeting
the Board may meet at Bayview on another date should it be necessary.

On November 8th there will be a regular no host dinner and meeting at
Apollo’s where the final details of the Christmas walk will be discussed.
Also The Polzin’s may talk about their walking trip to Scotland.

Susan offered her home for the Christmas party potluck on December 13th
and the Berrys may talk about their walking trip to Switzerland. Susan 
did discuss the rest of the time through June of 2012 but it was decided
to pursue that further at a later date.

Other things discussed were whether we should have the Westport walk
every other year and the Ocean Shores walk alternate years also.

We also talked about having an event next year at Millersylvania Park,
possibly in August. Stew said he has a walk thought out for Elma. Bob
said there is a trailmaster guide on the Yahoo website. We also thought
that more information about the meetings and programs should be
put in the newsletter. New people who join should receive a hat
when they come to a meeting. Bob talked about the proven fact that
most people prefer to walk with a group so we should consider going
to events as a group. Our group walks in the mornings and the evenings
have been very successful so they will continue.

The Secretary will pass around a signup sheet at meetings in the future.

The meeting adjourned at 8 pm.
