It's the year the Charlottesville Chapter turns 40!

Join us for a PATC Spring Open House Potluck with fellow outdoor enthusiasts!

• Find out about volunteering options with PATC to assist with trails and hikes
• Free Raffle of PATC maps and gear for PATC members. Make sure your membership is active in advance, so you can win!
• Socialize with trail maintainers, hike leaders, cabin maintainers and fellow nature lovers, including founding chapter members.
• Visit a modern PATC cabin
• Learn about how the Shenandoah Park Trust contributes to the needs of the Shenandoah National Park

Please bring a chair and beverage of your choice. We will provide fried chicken and cake. You may bring salads, sides and appetizers to share if you like.

We will gather at 4 PM for happy hour, then share a group picnic dinner followed by speaker at 5 PM. Stay as long as you like and enjoy the company.

We will also be hosting a hike at 2 PM on the OHill trails prior to this event. Please sign up for that separately on Meetup.

PARKING:

The parking lot we used previously has been reassigned to Emergency Services, so we can no longer use it. There is ample parking in the UVA E1 lot, on the far side of the Thomas Aquinas church. You can enter it from Alderman Road, just past Midmont Lane, after passing church on your right. DO not park in church parking. It may add .1 mile walk, so that's why we are hikers. Parking at Dunlodge is allowed but limited by trees.
