President’s Corner – Jan Breneman

Well, here I am again. Following in the footsteps of Liz Connors – and before her, Earl Bowen, I am doing another round as AWW president. Thanks to Dick Baker for stepping up to the Vice President’s position, and to Treasurer Jean Moeller and Secretary Daryl Pulley for a second/third year’s work. Together we have another dedicated team of officers.

I was reminded about all the other people who have come forward in the last year to help out with duties. Phyllis Clancy, who took on the Membership Chair. Carol Jensen, who showed interest in developing walks, co-chaired the Columbia Views walk with Joe Titone and the two of them are again working together on the Prune Hill event October 17. Also Jean Moeller, who agreed to the treasurer’s duties in a time of need. Jean and Leah Riedel are also co-chairing the Ridgefield Centennial walk August 22. As I’ve worked with them, I have gained absolute confidence that you will find this event to be A#1.  Not to be outdone, Joe Titone will now take over mailing the printed AWW newsletter, and Liz Connors may soon begin maintaining the AWW Website.

But the club is about ALL our AWW-some members. Your ideas and input are absolutely essential to making this a great walking club. Please feel free to contact me with any ideas you have to keep our level of excellence high… and consider how you can also make a difference.

From Liz Connors:

Hey club members....just want to say THANKS for a great year of being your President.  Really want to thank Jean, Jan, Daryl and Earl for helping me this past year!! Now I want to welcome in your new President, Jan Breneman, who has agreed to be the next President with the help of club members to ease the load.  Also would like to THANK Dick Baker on stepping forward to be our Vice President.  Jean and Daryl agreed to take on another year and we greatly appreciate that!!  So I'll be seeing around at the meetings and up coming walks, because again, they don't happen without the great volunteers!!

P.S..... forgot to mention that we are doing a Sunday, July 12 scouting hike to check out Cape Horn trail that we will be sanctioning as a seasonal for 2010.  If you care to join us.....WARNING... this hike will be rated at least a 4 or 5.  You will need good hiking boots and poles if you have them.  Poles are great for balance.  I would bring plenty of water and whatever you like to eat while hiking.  Plan on a long day, for we will be taking our sweet time and enjoying the views.  We will be meeting @ 8:30 in the Pendleton Mills parking lot in Washougal.  If you have any questions, please email or call me.  Thanks Liz.  360-798-6956 or takeahike68@yahoo.com
