KHC Newsletter – January 7, 2018
KHChirps
- In the first week of January we have about 210 members for 2018.
- New Members are encouraged to read Guidelines and Expectations on the website (we had to agree to them when we signed up and again when we book any event, but some people just don’t read them).
- Most KHC events in January will be snowshoeing events. We will start to offer some hiking events near the end of February, depending on the weather.
- Although we have not set a membership cap at this point, we are growing rapidly. The Board keeps an eye on how many events, booking spaces, and opportunities there are for members. The number of events depends on how many hike leaders we have (we are always looking for more) and how many events each can post. If an active leader is unable to organize events because of travel, illness, work, family, injury, etc. it can reduce the number of events we can post in a given period. If the Board feels that we have reached our limit, membership registrations may be shut down for the year. We estimate the current capacity of the club is 250 – 300 members.
- Contact information is provided on the listing for each event for members who need to contact a hike leader. There is also a list (only visible to logged-in users) on the Contact a Hike Leader page. It is more efficient and more reliable to contact a hike leader directly than to make a comment to an event.
- KHC does not provide a complete list of members and their contact information because of Privacy Laws. Hike Leaders, however, have access to this information to manage their events and in the case of an emergency, so if you have a need, you can use the Contact Form on the website or you can contact a hike leader on a need-to-know basis.
- Special thanks to the hike leaders who helped KHC with organizing and leading 7 events in the first 7 days of 2017 – John and Carole Moslin, Ernie Carson, Mark Hopkins, Gerry Hoye, and Tom Blackburn. Our thanks also to the Co-leaders who helped with these events – Peter Frew, Sam Chow, Ed Hunter, and Lois Hunter.
