A Letter from the Chair Dear ADK Members SUMMER 2009 Adirondack Mountain Club NORTH JERSEY RAMAPO CHAPTER NEWSLETTER & HIKE SCHEDULE A Letter From the Chair Dear ADK Members, We did it ! Both the North Jersey and Ramapo Chapters voted and passed the merger of the two clubs by an overwhelming majority. Now, with a stronger membership of more than 900, we will continue our tradition of beautiful hikes, interesting programs, and exciting events. We have a very full hiking schedule this summer and a “thank you” goes to all the members who have volunteered to lead a hike. Our newly formed Executive Committee is enthusiastic and ready to take on their responsibilities. If you look at the list of Chairs you will note that all the positions are filled. Our Executive Committee meetings will be interesting, to be sure. Please take time to consider the events that we are planning in the next few months: • The annual Mohonk Mountain House Day is on Saturday, Sept. 12th (rain date Sept. 13th). We will arrive at the hotel in the morning, have a choice of three levels of hikes, enjoy tea at 4 PM on the verandah, shower and change for dinner in the PETERTILGNER Health Spa, and finally, at 6 PM, have a four-course dinner in the main dining room. The cost for the day is $50 per person including tips and tax. Please contact me, Suzan Gordon, to register by Aug. 20th. • Our next chapter meeting, on Thursday, Sept. 17th, will be a program by Chuck Stead, infamous Ramapo Storyteller. He will regale us with tales of 18th century Tories, iron mining hardships, railroad ghosts, notorious bootleggers, poachers, and hippies. Chuck is an adjunct professor of Environmental Studies at Ramapo College and an environmental educator at Cornell Extension of Rockland. The meeting is 7 PM at the Nanuet Public Library in Nanuet, NY • Save the dates (Friday, Oct. 30th - Sunday, Nov. 1st) for our Fall Foliage Weekend at the beautiful Shawnee Inn and Resort on the Delaware in Pennsylvania. We will be guests at the Shawnee Inn from dinner Friday evening to breakfast Sunday morning. There will be planned hikes on Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday. The hotel is situated overlooking the Delaware River and adjacent to National Park lands. The Appalachian Trail, Bushkills Falls Trails and many others are just minutes away. Included in the two-day package are many activities for non-hikers. There is a spectacular indoor pool, and a nine-hole approach golf course. For an additional fee you can play their famous 18-hole, river island course. Other options include fishing, canoeing or shopping at nearby brand-name outlet stores. You can stroll on the hotel’s magnificent property or treat yourself to a massage at the hotel Spa. Dinner Friday, breakfast, packed lunch and dinner Saturday, and break- fast Sunday are included in the price of $273 per person double occupancy or $392 for a single. The Inn is only 75 minutes from Mahwah, NJ. Please look at the hotel’s web site www.shawneeinn.com. Call them directly to make a reservation (570) 424-4000 and ask for the Gordon Hiking Weekend. Please do this before Sept. 30th. Then, let me know you will be coming. Hiking in the woods during the summer is wonderful. We pick luscious blueberries and observe all sorts of flowers, mushrooms, and wildlife. Plan to hike. Attend the events. Become an active ADK member. We’d like to meet you.

    April 2020 The Newsletter of the Cold River Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club Chapter Co-Chairs’ Report 2019-2020 CRC Executive Committee Greg Schaefer, Rose Cooper (Chapter Co-Chairs) Dear Friends, Judy Thomson, Gail Gabriels (Outings Co-Chairs) Ken Shea (Director) There is no question that these last few months Harold Stackhouse (Alternate Director) Ellen Schaefer, Rich Salz (Members-at-Large) have been extremely trying for all of us due to the Nancy Haggerty (Treasurer) pandemic. All of our lives have been severely Anne Bernat (Secretary) interrupted by the COVID-19 virus, and many of Ellen Collins (Membership Chair) us know someone who has become sick with the Linda Hales (Newsletter Chair) illness. We know none of you are taking the impacts of the virus lightly, but because of the severity of illness when someone contracts it, we share with you some guidelines from ADK and DEC if you venture out. It is our goal that all ADK CRC members stay safe throughout the crisis. Out of an abundance of caution, CRC is postponing all outings until the end of May. ADK is reaching out to Chapter Chairs to keep everyone informed about changes in activity and to receive feedback. Additionally, ADK has recently posted updated information for members on its website (ADK.org), and you may have received an email from Michael Barret with some of this information. The club has extended the closures of the Heart Lake Program Center, Johns Brook Property, and Member Services Center through May 14. ADK leadership will reassess conditions for a re-opening date at the end of April, as they are assessing the situation on a weekly basis.
