RECENT WALKS:


On April 10, Chelane took Frances, Harris and Chloe up to Hartwick Pines State Park to measure one of the trails for our event on the day before Labor Day this year.  As you can see, there's still snow up there, still melting.

Alex and Stefan from the Washenaw Wanderers joined Chelane and Teresa for the group walk of Lakelands Trail State Park from Stockbridge.  The rain was only misty, so we had a very pleasant walk, although Alex was getting cold toward the end.  This was Alex' first straight-thru 10K!  Way to go, Alex!

Check out the Stockbridge web page - I added a picture of a blond (albino?) squirrel we saw on the route.  NOTE - UPDATE 4/14 - The start box has been moved from Dixie Cafe to Ransom's Food Center.  This is due to the Dixie Cafe going out of business soon.


COMING UP NEXT:

On Saturday, April 26, we'll Group Walk in Jackson.  See you at Steve's Ranch Restaurant at 10 am.

Memorial Day weekend we'll do our 2008 Trip to the Mammoth Cave region in Kentucky.  In general, the trip will leave early on Saturday, May 24 from Lansing and head through Ohio into Kentucky where we'll do a walk in Bernheim Arboretum.  On Sunday, May 25, we are hosting a Guided Walk event in Mammoth Caves that includes the Grand Avenue Tour.  Then on Monday, May 26 , we'll do the 2 state walk in Louisville , and then head home.  We'll be taking Chelane's van, unless we get enough folks for a bigger van.  Please send a $25 deposit to reserve your seat for this trip.

CLUB STUFF:

We didn't have anyone send in other nominations for Vice President and Treasurer by the time I closed the nominations on Saturday morning.  So, that being the case, I declare the previously announced candidates, Teresa Hartswell for Vice President and Joan Ritter for Treasurer, elected by acclamation.  Congratulations Teresa and Joan, we'll be grateful for your coming efforts on behalf of the club.

And also a BIG THANK YOU to our outgoing VP, Dot Meyers!  She was a big support in getting our club formed and going.
