30th Space Wing,
Air Force Space Command, Vandenberg AFB, CA, has been one of our partners
since before the CCPP even obtained its charter. Several volksmarchers
who would become Charter Members helped the Base put on the Global XVII
walk in 1997. We have partnered with them to make subsequent Global
events even better. |

About.com's Walking
Guide, Wendy Bumgardner, served for 8 years as an elected officer of
the AVA. She is currently "just a club president" in the Portland,
OR, area. Her page is an excellent source of information on all aspects
of walking, from occasional strolls to walking for weight control to preparing
to walk a marathon. |

Glen Andersen of Lompoc worked as an illustrator for many
years on Vandenberg AFB, CA, for Martin Marietta. He helped us bring
our mascot, Pooter the Peregrine Falcon, to life. We plan to use
Pooter in a series of patches which will be offered as awards at our walks
during the next few years. |

Bank of America Branch #184, 2320 S. Broadway, Santa Maria,
CA, 805-925-6664, has given us a free checking account since we organized
ourselves in July 1998. (The AVA requires a checking or savings account
before a club can be chartered.) BofA thus became our first "corporate
sponsor." |

Comfort
Inn of Santa Maria, 210 S. Nicholson Avenue, Santa Maria, CA, 805-922-5891,
has hosted our year round 10 km walk since New Year's Day, 1999.
The hotel offers discounts to volkssporters who ask for them when they
reserve their rooms. How much more comfort can you ask for? |

Solvang Shoe Store,
1163 Copenhagen Drive, Solvang, CA, 805-688-4065, opened their doors to
our 10 km year round event on New Year's Day 1999 and a visitor from Sequim,
WA, became our very first walker. The store has a great selection
of dress and casual shoes--and clogs--for both men and women. The
store also offers a 10% discount on all shoe purchases (including sale
shoes) for volksmarchers. Tell the staff you read about it on the
CCPP web page. |

South Side Coffee Company, 105 S. "H" Street, Lompoc, CA,
805-737-3730, hosts our walk in the "City of Murals in the Valley of the
Flowers." The cafe serves a wonderful variety of coffees, other beverages,
sandwiches, salads and quiches. It's a great place to stop for a
bite to eat, either before or after your walk. |
