NEC Training Workshop & Meeting -  The recently elected National Executive Council (NEC XVII) will hold a Training Workshop which will include Issue Discussion Sessions on August 24-25, 2011.  This is primarily to update new NEC Members on AVA policy and procedures.
 
In addition, an NEC Meeting is scheduled for August 26th. It will have a limited agenda to “clean the slate” of any headquarters housekeeping items and Old Business items from a previous meeting such as meeting minutes. Because the meeting date was not set until mid-July, it was too late to comply with the 60-day NEC Meeting notification to clubs requirement. Therefore, no agenda items are being solicited or accepted and there will be no reports given.
The NEC Meeting schedule for the remainder of 2011 and 2012 will be established at this time and this will be sent to you in early September.

The meetings are being held at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, 5008 Corridor Loop Rd., Schertz, TX  78154.This location is at the Northeastern edge of San Antonio and is about 15 miles from the San Antonio International Airport on I-35. The meetings are open and are scheduled from 9:00am to 5:00pm daily. Visitors are welcome at all sessions.

In General -
 Florida Volkssport Association (FVA) has a new website
http://www.walkflorida.org


There are obviously times when caution cannot guard you or your loved ones.  In many environs volkssporting is among the safest possible sports in which to participate.  There are areas in which we should, however, be hyper-vigilant.  In spite of the fact that the walkers taken from us this past week could not have prevented that event, it illuminates the need for each of us to plan to prevent accidents and to exercise volkssporting friendship when taking all roles as volkssporters.
