Use various areas around the city —Lake front, Carver Park, Hidden Waters
Seek new members to the group. ( a small group needs regular new blood or it disappears)

We will need a small group to plan activities. – like a Board of Directors.

Question of Web site. We can do blogspot free with several bloggers and any reader can add comments.
OTHER PUBLICITY– Newspapers, City Schedule, Main Street.
Membership List Maybe no fee to begin with. Just a hold harmless note.
Email list
Meeting place .. We can do LESC a couple of times week days and some week ends. I f long term I will need to get permission from the BOD. Question Parks and Recreation, High School, Hospital.
?? Program for children. Road Runners of America have one and then the story of Robert Sweetgall.
Why WALKERS. 1. Walkers to runners. 2. Walkers to loose weight. 3. Walkers for Walking (Big Sport from 100 years ago.) 4. Walkers for Race Walking (a low impact sport.)
Special welcome to women .
Special welcome to youth.
