AVA Meeting/Convention April 29 to May 3

The proxy form came back from AVA and has been given to Nancy Wittenberg with the check to help defray expenses.  New issues about IVV Americas have risen relative to Section 501(c)(3). IVV Americas has yet to form the nonprofit status in violation of AVA bylaws. Our instruction to Nancy regarding IVV Americas is wise.

Motion was made to have only one walk with 5k and 10k options.  Discussion followed.  Motion was seconded and passed.

Break for drawing $17.00 was collected.  Ken Grieser won $8.50 and $8.50 went to the club.

New Business

Should we have a second event in 2014 to take the place of the NW Trek event?  If yes, are there suggested locations?  Something to think about.

There is now a 5k route for Lake Fenwick, without stairs.

Meeting was adjourned at 7 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Marianne Bastin, secretary
