🎂 2-Year Anniversary: Support our 3rd Year of Adventures!

We have a big reason to celebrate: as of May 21, 2026, our group is officially 2 years old!

Since we started in May 2024, we’ve shared an incredible 161 events. That’s more than 6 trips a month! Thank you to everyone who laced up their boots and made this community so vibrant.

To keep our group active on Meetup, there is a $360 mandatory organizer subscription fee. We ask for your help. Your voluntary donations go 100% toward the Meetup Organizer Subscription and basic group maintenance for the 2026-2027 season. If you’ve enjoyed our first 161 adventures, please consider a contribution to help us reach our goal.

Note: This is a Virtual Announcement to ensure everyone sees the update. No physical meetup is taking place for this specific "event"—it's just a celebration of our 2-year journey! Here’s to more stories in Year 3!
