Two Books:
Kayaking &
Canoeing are added to Library!
Two new books have been donated to
our
chapter's growing library. They are:
Outdoor
Adventures Kayaking
Outdoor Adventures Canoeing
Both are edited by Pamela Dillon and
Jeff Oyen.
They are each a special book and DVD package with expert advice on
equiptment selection, techniques, fitness basics, travel security, and
survival skills! Our own Laura Liebel (a member of our ADK chapter) is
a contributing author. The May meeting will be your last chance to
borrow either of these books before September. Why? Becasue we do not
have meetings at the church with access to our library in June, July,
or August. So be sure to attend our meeting on May 12th and see what
these books have to offer. Check online bookstores (like Amazon) for a
more complete description of these items!

Day
Hike Leaders Wanted
Have you noticed the outing schedule
this month? I am sorry that the number of day hikes being offered is
very limited. Maybe my brain was fried but I ran out of
ideas of who to call to lead a hike. Could you help me with
this? Do you have a favorite place you like to hike? Would you like to
invite us to join you there? We need members to step up and
volunteer to be hike leaders. If you are interested please contact
Cheryl Peluso 648-9027 or cherylp17@verizon.net.
Check out this month’s Education Workshop on page
one. It happens to be on how to lead an outing!
