Some upcoming dates and activities to make you aware of:
Monday, September 5th is the deadline for nominations for the Chapter Honor Award. I've received several already, but if there is someone you'd like the committee to consider, please get your thoughts to me this weekend. The criteria state that the honoree is a volunteer who demonstrates loyalty, commitment, and hard work annually to the local organization’s chosen activities.
On Tuesday morning, September 6th, we have trailwork planned at Cemex. We'll take off from Jata's in Wampum at 9:00 AM and head for the River Road trailhead and work our way uphill (the walk out will be all downhill!) to finish off our cleanup from the logging disruption. We'll be out for two hours - Tools provided. Come earlier to Jata's for breakfast if you'd like.
Tuesday evening, the 6th, the 2013 National Conference Planning Committee is meeting in Slippery Rock at 6:30. The meeting place is at Ginger Hill Tavern, 278 S. Main St., Slippery Rock (near the Sheetz). There are some materials available for review beforehand, so if you are interested in being involved with this and didn't receive them please contact Joyce Appel at joyceappel@windstream.net Everyone is welcome to get involved in this LARGE event. Come around 6:00 if you are planning to order dinner.
Thursday, September 8th, we have trail building planned on our new segment at the Kirkwood Farm. We'll meet at 4:00 PM at the new Hodgson Rd. trailhead (right above Crawford's Camping Park) and spend a couple of hours with the DR mower and saw continuing our clearing work. My thanks to John Rarick for joining me this past Wednesday morning as we got a start on this project, clearing about half the distance we need to go.
A reminder that our monthly Wampum Chapter meeting will be held at the shelter at Watt's Mill on Monday, September 19th. Cook out, potluck, campfire, NCT comaradarie . . . plan on coming out. Details to follow.
Lastly, Jim Nocera is putting plans together for a Photography Hike on October 15th, and Lee and Eleanor are working out the details on the annual Pumpkin Pie Hike for later in the month, but we're in need of a volunteer with an idea for a destination and itinerary for our September chapter hike. Jim Houk and Dave Wright did a great job with the last two and their efforts are appreciated. If someone would like to take the lead on this I'd be willing to work to help to get the word out on it. If you have an idea for a "Let's Go!" shoot me an email and we'll pull it together.
