OLD BUSINESS;
1. Carol O. acknowledged and thanked all the members who volunteered to staff various functions at the Olympiad/IML events in San Antonio in February.
2. The CRW sponsored walk held 3/4/2023 was well received by 64 participants. There were many positive comments about the route. Donations of $91.00 were received, mainly due to the delicious sausages prepared by Rick M. and Larry J. Because Circle Acres/Ecology Action was included in the walk, Carol O. suggested that a donation be made in their behalf. After discussion, a motion was made to make a donation of $100. The motion passed unanimously.
3. San Marcos is closing their AVA club. Carol O. was contacted and asked if CRW would take over their 2 YREs. After discussion, it was decided to decline the offer.
4. National Walking Week will take place April 1-7. A walk may take place on one or all of the days. After discussion, Deb P. volunteered to lead a group walk on Wednesday April 5, 2023. The walk will start at 9:30am at the Georgetown Visitors Center.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. The next CRW sponsored event will be 4/15/2023 at the Boggy Creek Trail. Seven walkers checked the tentative route on 3/11/2023. Flyers are in process.
2. Elections of officers for the coming year will be held at the May meeting. Larry J. is in charge of contacting members regarding becoming a CRW officer.
