Let’s Build Our Group Together!

Dear N&O Members,
Thank you all for your continued support and positive feedback. I had initially planned to close the group due to the organizer's fee. However, after hearing from many of you who value this community, I’m happy to share that the group will remain active if we come together to support it.

If you’ve enjoyed a hike and hope to keep our group running, I invite members to contribute toward the annual Meetup organizer fee of $360. We suggested Contributions:

• $10–$20 per year, or
• $2 per hike attended

If just 18 members donate $20, or 36 members donate $10, we’ll easily meet our goal and keep the group thriving.

Donate info: Venmo@Nature-and-outdoos,

Transparency:
All contributions will be tracked and recorded. Any surplus will roll over to future years or support group activities and supplies.

We’re also looking for members who want to help plan, host, or suggest events. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to participate and build a strong, active community.

Thank you for being part of this group. Let’s continue growing together!

Warm regards,

Jen
