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.

Message from the RD & Future Events List (November)

10/31/2020

0 Comments

 

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.  
 
Regards,
 
Tom

Future Events List - September

Hello Everyone,

We're doing great on renewing events for 2021. Most clubs have their submissions submitted and just need to do some final reviews. So far there are 317 submitted for 2021, 6 not being renewed and I'm waiting on 85 events for your 2021 plan. I still need these clubs to submit your events by 15 September and several others have one or two events outstanding:
 
FS Family Wanderers
Corvallis Cruisers
Olympic Peninsula Explorers
Turnaround Trekkers
Over-The-Hill-Gang
Anchorage Volkssport Club
 
Some tips for your 2021 sanctions:
 
-  Remove any reference to COVID restrictions. The Starting Point book will be published with this initial input and we should reflect the information as business as usual. After the book is published and we get closer to 2021, we can update with any limitations.
-  Ensure Online Start Box (OSB) and Physical Start Box (PSB) information is reflected. Many events are being uploaded to the OSB concurrent with a PSB.  
-  Add "Sell It" statement in my.ava.org. This information will be published in the Start Point book and can be a key deciding factor on which walks people choose.
-  Keep Event Name short. Try to use this as a title and not a description of the walk. There's a block to describe the walk.  
-  City name only in the "City" block. State is in a separate box.
-  Start Point Only. This is the name of the business only. Address goes in the next block titled "Start Point Address and Driving Directions" 
-  PPSF in Comments box. I look for your request for Per Participant Sanction Fee approval in this box and if I don't see it there you'll likely be charged the sanction fee. It has been a tough year for our remote walks, but continue to limit PPSF requests as much as possible.
-  Start Times. Be sure to list start times in the "More Details" section and be sure they agree with any times you list in other sections.
-  Update Special Programs (SPs) and Challenges. Be sure to enter SPs for each event. There's a button on your club site under "Events" for Special Programs and you can add state challenges in the event Comments or Description Sections of the sanction.  
 
Thanks for your support in getting this task completed.
