How people can work together.
Keeping flexibility in mind flexibility, here is
(basically) how the club functions.
Monthly Events are planned in October of the previous
year. They are
arranged and lead by volunteers.
We post them on the Internet, send reminders through
the email list and discuss them at monthly meetings.
The goal is to offer an one event each month, under
the "friends inviting friends" motto.
Group Events are more focused and driven around the
personalities leading the groups. Hiking, Biking,
Climbing, and what ever comes in the future. Communication
of the event(s) relies more on the forum and the email
list. We highly suggested to be put on internet, but
no real requirement to do so (this is a matter of
resources - remember you are supposed to get outside
too). Some cross over happens, with a group sometimes
"hosting" a monthly event.
Email, Forum Events and old fashioned "Word
Of Mouth" are groups of members just happen to
meet and plan something. Do you have an idea and want
to invite some friends? Want to make new friends,
meet people and just be social? This is "Friends
inviting friends" at the simplest, with as little
administration as possible.
The club is there to provide the tools to accomplish
all this and acts as a center to attract like minded
individuals. (trip sheet examples, website, email
list, etc..)
However, there are Some Limitations. We are
- Not a Tour Guide.
- Not a Ski Instructor.
- Not a baby sitter.
- Not Paid!!
