A note from the administrator: This is where it starts. Our hikes and service volunteer work engage people who typically return to the club to do more to help the environment. MeetUp is not free, but not too expensive so a small donation here helps keep that dynamic going. FInd the 'Chip In' button and use it if you're able. Every dollar works and goes to Sierra Club! THANK YOU VERY MUCH and glad to have you here on meetup.
