  • Winter Breeze
    The Southeast Breeze Quarterly newsletter of the Appalachian Mountain Club, Southeastern Massachusetts Chapter Winter 2011/2012 — December, January, February View from the Chair By Jim Plouffe, Chapter Chair It‘s been one year; one year since I accepted the position as Chapter Chair for the Chapter. It is the ultimate of volunteer positions, in this type of club. While some volunteers give up a Saturday here or there and some volunteers lead a hike or a bike or a paddle, once in a while, this position, as Chapter Chair, has me running regular meetings, planning club wide events, coordinating weekend events, attending other meetings, annual dinners, retreats, and many other things that take up time. The work as a Chapter Chair goes beyond these ―time taking‖ events and includes the time it takes to prepare agendas, write articles, and collect paperwork and other less noticeable but important tasks that take place behind the scenes. I tell you this, not to pat myself on the back, because I don‘t really need the pat on the back. I enjoy doing this type of work and find it rewarding just to see that I can make a difference in my microcosm. I have told you this because last night I sat in a room with ―my‖ Executive Board and conducted a meeting that will hopefully bring this Chapter forward in the year 2012. At this meeting, I was looking around and realized that for every minute I spend planning, executing and attending my meetings and events, the people in front of me, acting in their volunteer capacity, spent an equal amount of time doing their best to try and achieve the same goals and intentions that I strive to accomplish.

It hasn’t been much of a winter as of this writing, since we’ve had more rain than snow. The winter season is still young, so I you cross-country and downhill skiers, snowboarders, sledders, and snowshoers may get the snow you need. Just last night, December 22, we got snow along with howling north winds off Cayuga Lake that brought down some trees; one blocked my driveway. I’d like to thank the Cayuga Trails Club Vice President Carol Mallison for taking command of the October and December board meetings in my absence. I missed the October meeting due to travel, and was recovering from surgery for the December meeting. I am back and want to highlight some of your Executive Board's recent doings. There was a feathery special guest at the December board meeting; a one-eyed barred owl accompanied Marsha Zgola. What a hoot! The owl was hit by truck and is in Marsha’s care. Treasurer Jim Connors reported that while the recent CTC income was fairly low and our expenses high, our yearly estimated income for 2012 exceeded expectations and estimated expenses were lower than expected.
