March 18 (Wednesday) Several long time regular Wednesday coordinators have either moved, stopped or reduced their frequency of coordinating hikes. Our coordinator ranks are thin.
To show how simple a hike coordinator's role is, below is an example of the recommended hike coordinators checklist for the day of the hike. The checklist will fit on a 3x5 index card. You do not need first aid training. Call Ted (218-1238) or Jim (730-2364) to co-lead your first hike. The May-June hike schedule is wide open.
