Outings and Education 2001 and Beyond

HELP WANTED !

An ad hoc committee of rabidly enthusiastic outdoor folks gathered together at the Fall Review for the purpose of carrying on the energy and enthusiasm of Monathon 2000.

Thanks to Tom Rodd for boldly engineering and carrying out this great outings program! As Tom is now turning his attention to other concerns, he pulled together a telephone conference of interested folks to whom to hand the torch. And so far Dave Saville, Hugh and Ruth Rogers, Peter Shoenfeld, Bob Marshall and myself have taken up the challenge. We met at the Fall Review and came up with some very exciting ideas for a premier outings program. These ideas include more outings, education programs, and a volunteer program. And we’re rarin’ to go!

If you led an outing last year, you will soon be hearing from Peter Shoenfeld. We are hoping that you will agree to lead a trip, or even better, several trips. Also, we really welcome your interest and help in developing the other areas of the program.

If you didn’t lead an outing and would like to, or would like to work with the committee, call me, Jack Slocomb, at (301) 777-8810, or email me at JSLOCOMB@prodigy.net

This is an exciting venture for the Conservancy that has the potential of enlisting a lot more people of all ages to support our mission and maybe even join the Conservancy.

Come and join. We promise fulfilling work and a heckuva lot of fun.

Jack Slocomb, Committee Chair
