[Hike - Beginner] Greenwood North - Special Christmas Santa Hat Edition

****** Christmas Edition ******
Wear your Santa Hat!

Make sure you join us for this special Christmas & Santa Hat hike as we celebrate the season and winter hiking. We have a few other things you can take part in:

This year we are supporting SOCKs, (https://www.sockswarminghearts.com/) and am asking everyone to bring a package of socks which we will be donating to the local SOCKs chapter. Last year, we donated 2 bags full of socks, so would love to top that this year!

We will also be asking everyone to donate $10 towards the upkeep of this Meetup Group. Most of our events through the year are free, but you can reach out and help us to keep this Meetup group going. You can bring cash or feel free to e-transfer $ to ralfraser@gmail.com. Be sure to let me know your sending me $.

And the best part yet!!! When we get back from our hike, we will have some hot coffee and hot chocolate waiting with some Christmas treats to share and celebrate Christmas and the upcoming holidays with us.
