Greetings Tuesday Hike Leaders and Prospective Hike Leaders,
Thanks to all who volunteered to lead our May and June hikes. It's now time to schedule our July and August hikes. There are 9 Tuesdays in July and August and we need both past leaders and new leaders to volunteer to lead one of these hikes.
Please check your July/August calendars and let me know when you are available to lead a hike. Maximum flexibility on dates is appreciated and I’ll make date assignments as soon as I get enough volunteers. July and August hikes need to be submitted to the PATC calendar by June 1. Our hike leader procedures are available under Hike Leaders at http://vigoroushikers.org/.
I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.
Dave Green
