Have you wondered what is going on with the trails in the Wissahickon Valley Park? Why are those trails that were reworked in the last two years called "Demo" trails? Well, here is the latest report by our good friends and partners at the FOW which gives an excellent summary of the Sustainable Trails Initiative Project.

Here's a quote from Nick Fortune, our illustrious Treasurer that came over the wires on 10/15:

"All, Congratulations! We made our year-end goal of 100 (supporting) members and it's not even November! Let's go for 150?

The latest 3 pledged $50 each! That's awesome!" Nick

That is awesome, especially since our 1 year anniversary is technically this month. 100 dontaions out of 390 registered users on our website is pretty good. I want to thank everyone who contributed money, but also those who have contributed their time at our volunteer days or at the Rally in the Valley.

The Board of Directors has decided that we will call our members who give time or money "supporting" members, because both of those generous donations are extremely important to the success of this club. Supporting members do not have to contribute money if they do not wish to or do not have the means. Any member that accumulates 20 hours of volunteer work per year, automatically qualifies as a "supporting" member. Besides sounding cool, supporting members get to vote on the elections of the next Board members, which will occur in August 2008. So please make sure you sign in at the volunteer days!
