PLAWKING? What is PLAWKING?
Ever done a Plawking Event? If not, here is your chance! So, what IS Plawking? It is Picking up Litter while Walking.
Event postponed due to forecasted inclement weather – updated 3/22/2024
On Tuesday, March 26th at 2 p.m., we’re going to give back to the community and walk a stretch of the Field Club Trail while picking up litter. Meet at 39th & Marcy Streets in Omaha (parking on the west side of the trail). Keep Omaha Beautiful will provide the equipment, but you might want to bring your own gloves. -
New walk just added!
Wednesday, March 20th: Women’s History Month Walk at The RiverFront
Join The Trailblazers for this free event. We’ll walk through Gene Leahy and Heartland of America Park and on to Lewis and Clark landing as we learn about significant women in local, national and world history. These women have contributed to our history through arts, activism, science and politics to name a few. We hope to see you there.
Meet at The Arch 11th & Farnam at 10:45. Start walking at 11:00 a.m. rain or shine. Free event. Leashed dogs and strollers welcome. -
Happy New Walking Year – 2024!
We’ve got 16 walks lined up – just in the first half of 2024! Take a look at the calendar, here: 2024 Calendar – first half They include some free walks during National Walking Week and a variety of locales and difficulties that should have you reaching for your calendar. The cost of our regular walks is now $4, up $1 from last year due to a large increase in the cost of insurance.
We’ve had to retire some of our Seasonal and Year-Round Events, but we’ve added a six-county long Seasonal Event – the Cowboy Trail in Nebraska – stretching between Valentine in the west and Norfolk in the east. This is only available via our Online Start Box on myava.org.
We’re looking at some fun summer activities – think wineries, balloons and trail runs for charity. You’ll want to check back often here and on social media to stay updated.
Of course, our club meetings, held on the first Monday of the month between February and June, September (2nd Monday) and December, are still fun, social places to be. You’re always welcome to take part in club business, listen to a speaker and to enjoy refreshments and conversations after the meeting.
Reminder: you don’t have to be a club member to take part in any of these activities. But if you would like to join for only $10 ($15 families), here’s the application with the mailing address printed right on it, so you can send it in while you’re thinking about it.
