THE OVER THE HILL GANG VOLKSSPORT CLUB MEETING
MARCH 28, 2001
Held at Round Table Pizza, Auburn, Washington
The meeting was called to order at 7 pm by Vice President Dean Puckett. There were 18 members present. That included new member Donna Bonfoey of Gig Harbor, WA. Also two additional new members were introduced but were not in attendance. They are: Cheryl Dines of Lacey, WA and Sally Joe Kimbel of Shelton, WA.
Minutes from our February meeting were approved as sent.
A resume was received from Tom Loppnow regarding his candidacy for AVA President. Dean passed it around for all to read. Also a letter was received form Sandy Dunterman concerning Tuesday night walks. She wanted to know if our club would be interested in sponsoring one of our YR walks as a part of this program. These walks do not take the place of the Thursday night walks. They will be starting in June. The club doing these walks is the Daffodil Volkssport Club of Puyallup. The idea died because of lack of interest.
Alicia was not at our meeting so there was no report on New Walker Packets and IVV Books, or Shirt orders, etc. Likewise there was no Treasurers report as Sandy was not at the meeting.

Check Point: YRE/Seasonal Changes: Changes to these events are handled the same way as changes to regular events. You make the changes on a copy of the Sanction Request, mark changes across the top and highlight the changes. Until we have a standard format for submission via E-mail, we will not accept them this way Faxes are okay as long as they are on the form not just a handwritten note and the changes are marked in someway.
Next ESVA meeting is May 19th at Fort Lewis.
No report from the Regional Director
AVA Convention: Jackie reports that volunteers are doing well. She has workers for the 9 walks and 2 swims. Workers walks are still going on through the end of May.
