Our Annual Meeting and Dinner on January 23rd at Valentino’s was attended by 31 people who came together for the installation of our club officers and the presentation of the 2015 Walker of the Year Award. We thank Mel Bohn for his service as president, and welcome Sandy Spaulding as our new club president.
The American Volkssport Association (AVA) is the national organization with which our club is affiliated. It celebrates its 40th birthday this year June 10 – 12 in Fredericksburg, Texas. We celebrated that achievement with birthday decorations and cupcakes at the dinner. Our own club will celebrate its 36th birthday this year with the annual Soup Walk on March 5th in Omaha, NE.
And the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the announcement of the 2015 Walker of the Year. Congratulations to Jim and Martha McGahan! In the picture, Club President Sandy Spaulding awards the traveling trophy to Jim and Martha. The club also wishes to thank the other nominees: Mel Bohn, Julie Brown, Karen Dix-Johnson, Ann Drebot and Jim and Sheila Goeltz. Our club is certainly blessed to have so many enthusiastic, talented and giving people!
