Happy 4th in two days! Here's the CFE list for July. Have had quite a few inputs for 2018, 2019 and even a few in 2020. I appreciate all the folks doing some good long- range planning and helping fill in the calendar. There are quite a few YREs for 2019 in the queue for me to review and I'll be going through them slowly and thoroughly to make sure we get good inputs into the Starting Point. Thanks to all who are doing some early work on this major task. I've had a request for those clubs with reserved dates shown at the bottom of the CFE list to let me know if your club is planning to hold those events. The idea is that if an event isn't planned then we should open the dates for other clubs to schedule an event. Seems reasonable, so if you have a reserved date and don't plan to use it then send me a note and I'll advertise through the next CFE email. I know a lot of clubs are going through officer changes this time of year. If you have new officers who need to be added to my distribution and others who might want off just drop me an email and I'll make the adjustments. Thanks and I hope to see a lot of you at Port Angeles. Tom
POTLUCK PICNIC & BYOB Eating at 6:30 PM Sellwood Park, Picnic Area A (Park map below) The picnic area is west (toward the river) of the Sellwood Pool. The address of the pool is 7951 SE 7th Ave, Portland, OR 97202. The park's parking lot is off of SE Malden St & SE 7th Ave It will be most helpful if you will please bring serving utensils (if needed) for your potluck offering. According to Portland Parks regulations, "BYOB" means "Canned or bottled beer and wine." I guess that means you should have your gin and tonic either before or after the picnic. Parking in the neighborhood, once the park's lot is filled, is limited, especially since there will be a free concert ("funk and soul with a twist") in Sellwood Riverfront Park beginning at 6:30. You may want to arrive early. The Parks' website lists these bus line options: 19, 35, 36, 70, 99 I will be providing ice cream (since it's my turn to bring treats). There will be a short meeting while we're picnicking.  Hello Everyone, I'm pleased to inform you of a new capability brought to you by the IT committee. You can now edit the two-line text of your event stamps. This applies to Traditional Events in the system now and your new YREs/Seasonals for 2019 and beyond. Open the attached file for instructions and follow the procedures as outlined. The capability was demonstrated at our NEC board meeting in New York and I've just now run through the process with my club's account and it works as advertised. - Open through Firefox, Chrome, MS Edge, but NOT Internet Explorer, as it may not work as designed. - On the first line put in a name for the event and on the second line you'll want City, State: Vancouver, WA. You can type lower case, but the software will capitalize everything. - You can enter and edit multiple times if the text seems too crowded - Edit becomes available to you after your RD approves the event If you have questions please try me first and if I can't solve it, I'll reach out to the IT committee. Enjoy and have fun with this new enhancement! Tom NW Regional Director 829 NW 44th Ave Camas WA 98607 505-298-1256
Hello NW Walkers, Attached is my walk talk, a summary of the key motions and events at the NEC meeting this past weekend, and a chart that graphically illustrates our participation dilemma. I look forward to hearing from the membership on the many issues that face us. We have a unique opportunity at the Regional Conference for you to speak directly with our board of officers and I hope many of you will take advantage of that opportunity. Happy Trails, Tom NW Regional Director 829 NW 44th Ave Camas WA 98607 505-298-1256 PNW Walk Talk #12
Hi Everyone, Welcome to June! Looks like a great month ahead with ideal weather for walking. We're off to Brooks, OR, tomorrow for the Fitwalker event. Wish we could get up to Dupont as well, but can't make it to both. It's really good to have options on any weekend to go north, south, or stay local for an event. However, there's always room in the calendar for more events. Several notes to go along with the list: First, Lilac City has closed the Spokane Downtown and River Walk (YR 0796) for the year. There is just too much construction going on to keep the walk open. Next, you'll note that the ESVA event for Sept 2019 is listed as tentative. Both CRVC from OR and ESVA are planning multi-day events that month and we're trying to find a way to make it work for them and you. I've attached a new spreadsheet to help us start looking at our bigger events to help schedule more effectively and find windows of opportunity. Please look it over and provide feedback on what your club might be planning. Also am interested in hearing the long range plans from our Canadian friends. You'll note that the odd years are full and even years have a lot of room available, so some re-balancing is needed. Next week I'm off to Albany, NY, for the NEC meeting and a chance to meet with the next convention committee to continue our efforts to build a spectacular event. If it's not on your calendar yet, you're going to want to jot it down for June 2019. Happy Trails, Tom NW Regional Director 829 NW 44th Ave Camas WA 98607 505-298-1256
Hi Everyone, There are quite a few additions and changes to the list this month. Thanks to those clubs that are adding to your plans for the year and those that are getting corrections back to me. Please look over the list and make sure your walks are correctly listed and let me know if I need to make any changes. The Evergreen Wanderers' seasonal walk at Nisqually has been moved to March 1st from April 1st, so get out and enjoy it a month earlier. Our friends from the Surrey Trekkers Volkssport Club had scheduled a walk & picnic in Abbotsford on August 19, 2018. Unfortunately the City requested them to obtain several permits which would have made the walk a significant financial burden to the Club. Therefore, the Club has replaced the originally scheduled event with a walk starting at Peace Arch Park, followed by a picnic in the park. They would welcome their US neighbours to join them. Here are the details for your information. SUNDAY, AUGUST 19 10:00 SURREY - Peace Arch Park - Special Event, Picnic to follow START POINT: Peace Arch Park, Beach Rd & Hwy 99 V3S 9N8 DISTANCE: 5, 10K RATING: 1B SPONSOR: Surrey Trekkers CONTACT: Sandy & Gord Hartney 604-596-8609 ghartney@gmail.com PROGRAMS: Community, Murals DIRECTIONS TO START: Exit Hwy 99 right onto Beach Rd - turn Left into parking lot behind the Duty Free Store. Start point in adjacent Peace Arch Park picnic area. INFORMATION: Special Event - Walk along the beautiful lawns & amongst the gardens in Peace Arch Park which straddles the Canadian/US Border. Leaving the park, still on the Canadian side, walk toward White Rock where you will walk along the promenade enjoying the views of the Pacific. Happy Trails! Tom NW Regional Director 829 NW 44th Ave Camas WA 98607 505-298-1256 "Solvitur ambulando, St. Augustine said It is solved by walking." "If you seek creative ideas go walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk."
