Bathrooms available

Rain or shine, we are going to have a Social - Hiking equipment swap - Fundraiser Fee Raiser at Bowen Park Picnic Shelter.

Meetup Fees:

The main reason we are having this social is to pay for our meet-up fee. It is no surprise that our fees have gone up. Our group leader, Brian, was passed the torch to help us continue on with our hiking group. He is the one that pays the fee, but it is up to us hikers to cover the cost for this fee.

A contribution of $10 - $20 would be appreciated!

The contribution can be made starting today for all those that do plan on attending the Social and for those who will not be attending.

There are a couple of ways to pass make a contribution:

1. the preferred way would be to send an e-transfer. Send me a message on this Meetup notification below under "Start the conversation" and I’ll send back the directions of where to send this e-transfer. Some of you may have already conversed with me via meet-up email, phone call, etc. so please contact me any way you'd prefer.
2. At our meetup social, there will be a Meetup Fee Donation Box for those who have not previously donated. Cash or check will be welcomed.
3. Final way is in person to me, Donna. Send me a message on this meetup and I’ll contact you.

Hiking Equipment Swap/Sale:

Any hiking/sport equipment is welcomed. This will work like a garage sale. When you sell/buy, it will be a private sale between members. The seller keeps the funds.

Tentative schedule for the event:
may change slightly as the date approaches:

5-5:45 - meet and greet
6-6:45 pm - social time
7-7:15 - money is counted and given to Brian.

*Just like all our hikes, if want to bring your own snacks and drinks, please do so.
**This is NOT a pot luck
***There will be plenty of picnic tables for everyone
****Alcohol is NOT permitted

Check back on meetup close to the end of July for updates
