Greetings Fellow Walkers! It was great seeing many of you at our Norco Traditional Walk last month. Our Saturday Post Cinco de Mayo walk in San Juan Capistrano last week was a lot of FUN. We had four new walkers. Maureen led the 10k route and I led the 5k route. Some of us enjoyed lunch outside at Hennessey’s Tavern.
Just a reminder when you venture out to enjoy any clubs year round or anytime walks Please Thank the businesses for sponsoring our start locations.
Our seasonal Big Bear walks are available NOW until Nov. 30. The Start Binder is Located at Liquor Junction at 1041 W. Big Bear Blvd. The business is very small, so please ask the clerk for the Walk Binder and take the binder out to your car to stamp your books. Then take the binder back in the store and hand it to the store clerk. There is No space in the store.
Our club walks in Menifee (3 total), the walk binder has returned to Menifee Inn.
SAVE THIS DATE August 14 for our annual Club MEETING and PICNIC in Canyon Lake. Must RSVP to Kathy or Maureen to attend.
Please check our ava.org website as there have been many changes this past year. Each and every one of you should go to My AVA.org and set up your account whether or not
you plan to use the OSB (online start box) because there are many member features. Set your personal account as described in the tutorial: Create My.ava.org account.
The 22nd Biannual AVA Convention in Madison, Wisconsin is scheduled for June 26-July 3rd. I will NOT be attending this year so please let me know if any one from LDR will be there. Our annual CVA convention is temporarily scheduled for October 8-10 in Santa Maria area. More info when I know for sure. COVID issues with hotels!!#**
