There are three "types" of walks—Fun, Club, and Regular Event:

1.   The Fun Walk is a walk for fun, and will not garner AVA/IVV credit.  It may be of any distance the planner chooses, and there is no fee.

 

2.   A Club Walk is a walk done as a club activity using an YRE (Year Round Event) as the walk route.  Those who are collecting AVA/IVV stamps in their books can get credit for these walks for a $3.00 fee.

 

3.   The Regular Event is a special walk set up as a one-day event for AVA/IVV credit.  Given our club State Park Walk Challenge, most of the Regular Events are done in State Parks in Eastern Tennessee.  The fee is $3.00 to stamp your books, and there may be an additional "optional" fee for a patch or a lapel pin.

For YREs, you can walk it at any time and earn AVA credit for your books.   Just go to the walk box, pick up a map, fill out all the paperwork, stamp your books, and do the walk, then mail your check in the envelope provided.

FUN WALK -- FEBRUARY 25, 2012
A fun walk means no books to stamp or money ($3) to pay.  This three-mile walk is on the 3rd Creek Greenway in Knoxville.  The group will meet at the Laurel Church of Christ at 3457 Kingston Pike in the parking lot near the trail entrance at 9:45 a.m.  During the walk, they will stop for lunch at Panera's.
