Volunteers Needed!

​

As you know, it takes a core group of volunteers to organize a hiking event of this magnitude.  We always need volunteers to serve as hiking directors and assistant hiking directors for each day, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  These volunteers set up the hikes, determine the check points and trail markings, create a map and directions, coordinate the worker's walks and recruit several volunteers to help out  on the day of the hike.  Since our hikes use established state park trails and maps, the walk directors don't need to do much background preparation.  If you are interested in helping out as a walk director or assistant walk director, please consider joining us for the reconnaissance trip to Palo Duro Canyon State Park , March 5-9, 2023.  The "Recon" is always a lot of fun, it gives you another chance to enjoy the great outdoors of West Texas and you are invited to our special "thank you dinner."

If you prefer to volunteer for more specific tasks, we have several volunteer opportunities. These activities are "nice to have" but not "mission essential."   If we don't have volunteers, most likely they will be dropped.  Here are the volunteer activities:

• Designing and purchasing  the annual Patch

• Selecting and negotiating a special hotel rate

• Selecting the location and coordinating the Friday night happy hour

Lastly, we always need people to serve on the board.  We have one position open in October 2023.  Also Susan Noonan is serving as acting President and Secretary.  She is willing to serve in one of these officer positions, but needs someone to volunteer for either President or Secretary.

​

Thank you to all our volunteers.  Without this active core, our organization would fold.
