NW Region Volkssport Friends, 

Next year is ESVA's turn to host the 2012 NW Regional Conference.  Plans are now being firmed up for this event.  It's time to add this event to your vacation plans for next year!  

This event will be centered at Camp Berachah in Auburn Washingon.  The Hillside lodge will be our central headquarters.  We are planning to have walks in NW Trek, Crystal Mountain (maybe gondola ride to the higher elevations and hike down), Downtown Tacoma and an event around the camp area.  There are many other YR's a short distance away.  

The camp has an indoor swimming pool so we can host a Swim Event.  We are planning to keep your time filled with other highlights in the area.   Did I mention the camp has a "dunk tank" and Sam is already asking if he can get credit for this!  There is a campfire ring so s'mores will be on the menu.  Did you know they make flat marshmellows now so you don't break the graham crackers when you smash them together?   Any guitar players out there?   Maybe after the AVA convention we will need a round of "Kumbaya"! 

Save the date and join us for this event!

Subject: Fwd: Save the Dates - NW Regional Conference - August 16-19, 2012

I have already blocked off the dates of Aug 16-19, 2012 for the Northwest Regional Conference.  During that time, I ask that clubs not request event sanctions, so that everyone will be able to attend the conference. Sure, I'll work the dunk tank too, so long as I get swim credit.  Sounds like lots of fun.

The walk was held on a cold, breezy, rainy and overcast day. See more at the Sherwoodmerrywalkers blog of 6/18 and their photos.
