CEDAR MILERS VOLKSSPORT CLUB

We've got a great year planned for 2009! Our first event will be on March 21st, our annual St. Patrick's Day walk complete with our Irish contest along the route. We'll also be collecting Teddy Bears for the Washington County Sheriff's Office Buddy Bear program that provides kids in traumatic situations a teddy bear to hang on to for comfort. If you think you'd like to participate by bringing a teddy bear, the preference is for teddy bears that are mid-sized (about 18") though they do accept anything we give them. The March walk qualifies for the AVA America's Historic Churches program that started this year. Our late spring walk will be May 23rd starting at the Portland Community College-Rock Creek Campus...with the new construction, new trails, and a museum, we should have a neat trail to walk. On Jul 11th, we plan to return to the Wilson River and Tillamook State Forest for a walk. It's been 3 years since we've been out there. Finally, on Oct 10th we will put on our Painter's Showcase walk through Jenkins Estate, this time starting at the elementary school on Farmington Road so that we can get more time on the trails within Jenkins Estate.

 Don't forget we have 10 Year Round events operating: 2 from the Sunset Athletic Club on Cornell, 2 from the West Hills Racquet and Fitness Center on Cedar Hills Blvd, 2 from the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District Center on 158th and Walker, 1 from the Shoe Mill Store in Tanasbourne Town Center, and 3 from the fire station on Brockman Rd. We do club walks of our Year Rounds on the 2nd Sundays at 1PM (6:30 PM during the summer months) and anyone who would like is welcome to join us. Check our calendar for details. 

Our meetings are at 6:30 PM on the second Mondays of the month at the Cedar Mill Library. Our April meeting will be a dinner out together, we'll have a July picnic, and some other fun stuff as well. See you on the trails!
