Starting
Point Form -and- Atlantic Events Scheduled attached
Also attached to this newsletter is a STARTING POINT
form you can use if you'd like to directly order 2006 STARTING POINT Books from
the AVA and you haven't done so yet! Additionally, club Prez
Joan provided a copy (as of 12/24) of the Atlantic
Region Schedule of events. Ensure you check with host clubs first
before heading out a long ways to ensure things are still scheduled as listed!
BUT! President Joan still has two copies for sale - you don't end up
paying postage if you order through the club! First come, first serve -
send your
request to purchase it ($15) to Joan's email address (jvkimmel@optonline.net.).
We are sometime asked what a 'Group Walk' (as
opposed to a Year Round Event (YRE) or Event) is - We credit our sister
club in Albany, the ESCV (EMPIRE
STATE CAPITAL VOLKSSPORTERS) for the
following definition of GROUP walks: "Group Walk
means all meet and signup together at the same time,
get a map and start together, then you
proceed at your own pace. There are NO GUIDES for this kind of walk.. Nor does a group have to stay together. "; so
when
you see this term in our calendar below,
you'll now know what it means! We usually have fast walkers, slow
walkers, and medium walkers, there's
almost always someone you can walk with if you join us for your first
time in a GROUP WALK!
Changes from the previous month in RED!
Note that the MAY 2006 date for our
Round Pond Spring event can not be held that day. It was previously
listed as TENTATIVE. We will update you with either a
new tentative date, or a final date, when
