Thank-You, Chief Noonday
Chapter Volunteers!

A number of the Chief Noonday Trail
Adopters had a Get-Together at Kellogg Forest on May 10,
2008 with Dave Cornell. Pictured here between
the Hawkins brothers, Mick (Chief Noonday
Webmaster) and Larry (Chief Noonday Chapter President)
ably serving as bookends, are adopters (from left) John
Rudnicki, Susan Bond, Larry Pio, Mary Fleming, Ron
Sootsman, Jim Martin, Joe Higdon, and Steve Hicks.
Rounding out the group but not present for the picture were George Lee,
Wayne Marvin, Jerry Pattok, Roxanne Potter,
Marcia Mellen, Tom Funke, Josh Richie, Jeff
Fleming, Greg and Lynne Durham, and Terry
Meden. Once again trying to avoid being in the
picture was Dave Cornell (inset) who took this photo –
perhaps unaware that there's more than one way to
Photoshop skin a cat.... (To see a larger image

Our TRAIL ADOPTERS
accept a
section of the Trail where they hike at least once each month and perform “easy to
handle” maintenance, i.e. trimming brush, mowing grass,
removing
branches from
the trail, refurbishing blazing, etc.
|
Volunteers are
also needed at the national office in Lowell. Contact
Laura Lindstrom, Office Manager and Financial Administrator
for info. |
They file a monthly report on the condition of their
trail section and outline larger maintenance projects to be carried out by the
Chapter work crews.
We owe them our gratitude for keeping our trail open
and in a good hiking condition for all of us to use.
This list changes
regularly (such as new adopters
being added), so if you have a section of trail and you are not listed, or you
are interested in helping, please
contact Dave Cornell to be added!
