BHVA Scholarship applicants please use the pdf document above to submit your application by the March 31, 2026 deadline. Again the change is that you are emailing your scholarship application rather than snail mailing it.
Our traditional walks for 2026 begin with the Kickoff walk following the Spring Membership meeting on April 25th. We will be in the Card Room of the Canyon Lake Activity Center: the meeting begins at 9 but the door will be open at 8:30.
The May 12th BHVA Board meeting will be in the Conference Room at 5pm.
The next AVA is offering a new special program for just 2026 sponsored by the Falcon Wanderers called the Anniversaries Hurrah. Many, if not all, of our walks fit into the requirements for the 25 walks in the program. The books cost $14 m. Here is a link to the special programs page: cb.ava.org/specprog.php.
The new address for the American Volkssport Association is:
AVA: America’s Walking Club, 1032 S. Alamo St., San Antonio, TX 78210 / Phone: (210) 659-2112.
This is important to note so that your AVA books can be mailed to the correct location and that you get proper credit with the AVA.
Please note the new email address for the webmaster is: [email protected]
Please look for the Donation Request form under the Club Info tab.

Get out and walk…
Sunshine, Fresh Air, & Exercise are good for us!
We are offering 16 traditional walks in 2026, plus 4 more bus trip walks, along with 17 year-round and seasonal walks so it should be easy to earn this patch, which just requires 10 walks listed in our membership book. To earn a club hooded sweatshirt/club vest you must walk 20 walks (10 different walks sponsored by BHVA.) For more details please refer to the Incentive Tab listed under the More drop down menu.
