BOARD PROPOSES INCREASE IN DUES. The Executive Board, after a preliminary study by the Finance Chairman Jack Perry, is pro­ posing an increase in our annual dues. The Board proposes tha t individual dues be increased from $2.00 to $2.50 and family mem­ bership dues be increased from $3.00 to $4.00 per year. The membership will vote on this proposal at the annual meeting, Jan. 14, and if approved at that time the increase would be effectiv e for 1973. The increase would be a change in the Club's By-Laws. We might note that this would be the first time our dues have ever been increased, and the increase is suggested because of rising postal rates and increased expenses for the Newsletter.

The Finger Lakes Trail teill be officially closed Monday, February 5, in keeping with the policy of closing the trail one day each year to protect the property rights of landowners. Experiment on the FLT. Erv Markert, Trail Chairman of the f l t , has announced an interesting experiment on a five-mile stretch of trail where there will be no maintenance except to keep the paint blazes in goud condition. The purposesof the experiment include cheeking to see if hikers can K e e p a trail open by walking on it, if this practice will deter motor vehicles such, as snowmobiles and motorcycles and also horses, and if the natural regrowth helps protect the trail and helps pre­ vent erosion. NEW SKI-TOURING CLUB FORMED. CTC members may be interested in a new SKi-Touring Club which recently formed. Many events are already scheduled; for example, January 7 a tour in Robinson Hollow, January 13, a workshop on eouiowent, skiing technique and waxing, and January 14 a tour on Connecticut Hill.

Spirits were high, it seemed, for the chatter of voices subdued the roar of fog-shrouded Enfield Creek falls. The woods were delightful, carpeted with leaves and pine needled and sparsely decorated with bittersweet. It was a good day for a hiKe.

We appreciate what you did for us. The club has many different adtivities. If you are a new mem­ ber, or have not been active, and you would like to contribute some time or ideas, let us know your interests.

Doris Brann - 273-1580 ANNUAL DINNER REPORT AND WORDS FROM OUTGOING PRESIDENT Sixty-seven members and guests attended the eleventh annual CTC dinner - the usual gala event - held Sunday, January 14, at the Char-Pit Restaurant in Ithaca. A written review cannot do justice to the reports of the ’72 committee chairmen, but let it be said that the committee chairmen caught the flavor of the Club’s acti­ vities and certainly made the year sound like just as much fun CAYUGA TRAILS February 1975 Annual Dinner Report and Words from the Outgoing Pres.

  • The Lookout 2020-0203
    The Lookout February - March 2020 Adirondack Mountain Club — Schenectady Chapter Dedicated to the preservation, protection and enjoyment of the Forest Preserve http://www.adk-schenectady.org Into The New Year 2020 Priorities Set By New Board Chair Hey friends! Just a couple quick exciting bits of news to report on what’s going on in YOUR chapter of the Schenectady ADK! First, we had a VERY productive budget meeting this past December, primarily around discussing how to reinvest the considerable savings from moving to primarily electronic publication of The Lookout. In short, we decided to focus on investments in the future: From planting seed money for a new recent-retiree outreach effort we’re calling the “Masters Group”, to supporting our young member socials, to engaging in more online advertising, to focusing on new member recruitment in the upcoming year. Second, we made a SIGNIFICANT increase in our budget for supporting our trip leaders and chapter board leaders in receiving the training they need to help grow our chapter, includ- ing Wilderness First Aid and CPR training to various trainings for our whitewater program. I couldn’t be more excited in this new initiative to both invest in our future and help our longtime outing leaders freshen up on their skills. If you’re trip leader looking to participate in a training, let me know! Dustin Wright Finally, as we’re experiencing a great deal of turnover on our chapter board, we’ll be updating job descriptions and adding a historian and “Masters Group” chair. There’s definitely a number of roles we could use some help with, especially filling in my old spot as Young Members chair.
