The President's Corner

I often think to myself how lucky I was to find this wonderful hiking and outing club. When you are out hiking or kayaking or walking or biking for several hours, you find yourself making a connection with nature but also with the people around you. This club is a club for getting in touch with nature but also one for friendship, support, and fun. I am grateful to have formed many close friendships during my time in this club.

Another amazing part of this club is its culture of volunteerism and dedication. Thank you to so many of you who step up to keep the club strong with so many activities planned. We can brag that our club has an activity 365 days a year unless a thunderstorm rolls in or we get winter ice! We are always looking for new leaders and volunteers within the club so please feel free to reach out if you want to get more involved.

My vision for the year is to work with the board and club leaders to communicate openly and frequently, to plan more social outings, to train more people in first aid and CPR, to start a new hike leader orientation and training program, and to use the information generated by the club survey to steer our club into the future.

Happy trails!

Joan
