Mid-December KHChirps
Some short news items and updates:
Membership
- For 2015, 182 registrations have been received (to date) of which 170 have also paid their fees and 157 have completed waivers.
- Of the 182 registered, 113 are renewing members and 69 are new members.
- For members in good standing (registration, fees, completed waiver), renewing members website accounts will be left as is, and new members will have new accounts established and passwords sent by email.
- For incomplete renewals or incomplete new memberships, accounts will be frozen until all 3 requirements are met (as per Club policy) this month.
- For additional new memberships, renewals, and incomplete registrations, the registration forms, waivers, etc. will be left on the website until Jan. 31, at which time, memberships will be closed.
- Please note, the final step in completing the waiver is to click the link in the email you will receive; this confirms that you have used a valid email. This is explained when you do the waiver and when your receive the email. If you don’t complete this step, the waiver is not valid and your membership is not yet in good standing.
- A big welcome to our new members. Emails will be sent out soon.
Calendar
- Most of the 2015 calendars have been sold and distributed, but if you contact John (johnmoslin@hotmail.com) quickly, you may be still able to get one.
- Our thanks to John, Michelle, and Wendy for taking care of the calendar for the Club.
Snowshoeing
- Although snowshoeing season has started, warm weather has melted much of the snow, extending the hiking season. Some of the posted snowshoeing events may turn into hikes until we get another good snowfall.
Events
- Some of the 2015 events have not yet been enabled for bookings. This is for several reasons, as follows.
- First, we want new members (who don’t yet have their accounts) an even chance with renewing members to book into the events.
- Second, with the unpredictable weather, it is hard to determine whether events will be okay for snowshoeing or should be lower-altitude hikes. Once the winter weather settles in, event leaders can choose winter snowshoeing locations.
- Third, some of our more active hike/event leaders are in a “transition” phase right now for a variety of reasons. More event leaders are needed in this transition phase, so if you can lead an event, please contact a Club Director (list).
Website
- A new page is now provided – See Events > Meet-Up Locations
- Did you know that our website gets about 225 visits each day?
