Dear
Pauline,
At the club's AGM back in August, I leapt into the breach when a new president
was called for. The club has lots of dedicated volunteers, but
required one individual to take responsibility for this position. I'm
still getting used to all the ins and outs, and there are still gaps
in the executive, and a program list to be prepared for the year. If
you enjoy the club but have never volunteered, NOW is the time to
step forward!
I am happy to be here, and hope to see many of you returning and
inviting friends and acquaintances to join us. Please read on...

Fall Hike Outing
Centennial
Ridges Trail, Algonquin Park, Thursday, Oct 22 (rainday, Fri)
Just one of the thrilling views from this spectacular 10 km ridge
trail. Click on the picture to link to a complete 3 page HIKE show and
tell.
Don't settle for armchair travelling, though. Plan to join us, and
treat yourself to a classic hike along spiny outcroppings of the Canadian
Shield. This is truly a memorable experience that
you'll enjoy looking back on all winter long. Pack a lunch, some
snacks and water, wear grippy, sturdy footwear and call me for
carpooling or directions. It's located on the Hwy 60 Corridor, 36 km
from West Gate, 18 km from East Gate.

Club
Logo is undergoing a renovation
Logo
designed by Ed Poropat
The logo is being re-drawn
digitally by graphic artist, Heather Deveaux. This will give it a
crisp clean look, and will make it easy to pop into any web or print
application. It was almost ready for this newsletter, but apparently
it needs a little more tweaking. So here is the old version.
Next issue, it will appear with a
link to the club website, for easy browsing. That is currently not up
to date, since we have a new executive, new AGM minutes, etc. Your
patience is appreciated. And, we need programs for the year - your
input is requested on this point! Please give me a call if you would
like to help.
