The West Virginia Highlands Conservancy presents
The Annual Fall Review and 40th Anniversary Celebration at the Cheat Mountain Club
October 26-28, 2007
Join us this fall when nature puts on her best party colors and we all gather to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of The West Virginia Highlands Conservancy.
Sitting on the banks of the Shavers Fork of the Cheat River, the historic Cheat Mountain Club has been a welcoming gateway to the great outdoors, and quiet retreat from the outside world, for over a century. Built around hunting, fishing, and wilderness adventure, the CMC continues to provide the best of West Virginia’s mountain hospitality with a gracious, comfortable lodge set in a place of spectacular natural beauty. Plan to come! We will have art, outings, presentations, a reunion, a banquet dinner, and lots of fun.
Program details are still coming together, but a tentative itinerary includes:
October 25, Thursday: Afternoon Check-in, evening program and social.
October 26, Friday: Guided outings and hikes to nearby locales, riding one of the area’s excursion railroads, fly-fishing on the Shavers Fork, or just relaxing at the lodge. After dinner we will have an evening program with plenty of time to greet old friends and meet new ones.
October 27, Saturday: More guided hikes and outings. In the afternoon we will have a Reunion of veteran Conservancy leaders: Past officers, Voice editors, and issue activists have been invited, and already several have committed to join us. After an Anniversary Banquet Dinner, we will have a panel discussion featuring three leaders from three different decades and issues. Moderated by Rupert Cutler (a founder), the panel will include Bob Burrell (first Voice Editor, and second President), Cindy Rank (past President and mining leader) and Frank Young (past President and wind energy leader).
October 28, Sunday: Possibly more outings and the Highlands Conservancy Board Meeting will begin at 9:30 am.
