Enjoy a Year-Round Walk Safely:
Walking is good for you. The State organization in Oregon (OTSVA) is encouraging individuals or couples walkers to walk the many clubs Year-Round- Events (YRE’s). Since many of the Starting Points are closed, it is recommended that you not sign in at this time but to just do the walk, keep track of the date and walk. When things get back to normal, you would then sign in, pay your fees, and stamp your event and distance books. For those who walk but do not keep books, you would just keep track of the walks and when this coronavirus is no longer a threat sign in and contribute what you wish to help support our organization.
