Hi NW Walkers,
Attached is our latest events list. There have been many changes and I've tried to catch all the cancellations and date moves, but if you see something I've missed let me know and I'll submit a correction. A new Seasonal event is being added by CRVC at Fort Stevens on the OR coast and several other coastal walks are under consideration. Louise and I attended a DVVA walk in Puyallup WA yesterday. It was a great event, carefully hosted for safety and appeared to be well attended. For those considering events in the near term I encourage you to follow through. With a little attention to procedure we can meet state/local restrictions and get to see more of our walking friends.

Soren Kierkegaard Future Events List (February) Hi Everyone,
I seem to have caused a little confusion in my Walk Talk and want to quickly add some clarification. In paragraph 11 I wrote: - US to host the IVV Olympiad in Feb 2023 in San Antonio TX, prior to the IML event - We voted to hold a general membership meeting in accord with our Bylaws in San Antonio and have an online meeting for officer elections and other business in June in lieu of an AVA convention We're still working toward a convention this June in Madison WI. The board voted to have a general membership meeting in San Antonio in February 2023 following the Olympiad, with a separate online meeting toward the summer of 2023 to take care of the other usual business conducted during a convention. Our reasoning is that we want to have only one major event for clubs to attend that year and also keep the workload manageable for the national office, board and committees in 2023. v/r Tom For walkers who are residents of Oregon
2021 Winter Challenge OR For walkers who are residents of Washington 2021 Winter Challenge WA Happy New Year! I hope this message finds you ready to charge into 2021 with renewed vigor and optimism. There are lots of openings in the calendar for planning events in 2021, so consider adding an event or two. With the postponement of the regional conference, the end of May is open for several more local events. Tom NW Regional Director 829 NW 44th Ave Camas WA 98607 505-298-1256 Future Events List (January) The Olympia Holiday walk scheduled for Dec 12 under sanction 116921 has been cancelled. We moved the sanction to May 2021 and the Capitol Volkssport Club is reworking their plans.
Happy Halloween, Attached is my latest Walk Talk, the Future Events for November and a letter outlining the bylaws approval process. Enjoy some light reading. The Yachats Coastal Gems are deactivated with just a minor detail or two left. Many thanks to Maryann Brown for guiding the club to the finish line, Mary Reed for managing the financial transactions, and the supporting clubs that are picking up these fine coastal events. The Turnaround Trekkers will be handing over their coastal events to the Columbia River Volkssport Club on January 1st at which time they'll begin their deactivation. It is a great sadness to see these and several other clubs closing, but their legacy will continue through the great walks they developed over the years. I want to mention one event cancellation for the Portland area walkers and that is the Christmas Ships walk. Due to COVID restrictions and the lack of a safe starting point, the event is cancelled with regrets and moved to 2021. The New Year's Eve and Day walks in the Portland/Vancouver area are cancelled; however, year round events in the area will be used on those dates for group walks.
