Dick Koonce and Patty Proulx, AVA Secretary and Ginny Drumm AVA VP.

A big appreciation for the many unnamed volunteers, CRVC officers, and
Dick Koonce for donating those hundreds of service hours so that walkers might enjoy the events of the Post-Rose Parade Walkand particularly the multiple Gorge Walks held during an extended week of heat wave!!
(the notes that had the names for those above seemed to have taken a
walk.)

Dick Koonce is exhaustively working the collaborative process among the
many business and legal entities of Cascade Locks to ensure that issues are addressed and that the Gorge Events might again be welcomed at that venue. If there are tasks you might be available for, let the CRVC officers know.
