Hi Folks,

Sorry for the short notice, but I need a few folks to staff a table at an event on Saturday 1/17, starting at 1:30 p.m. going until about 8 p.m.  I was thinking that it could be in 2 hour shifts, I would set up at 1:30 and leave at 2, so having a volunteer at the table from 2 to 4, 4 to 6 and 6 to 8. I would then come and tear down and take the table and materials with me.

But even if you can’t help out, you should consider coming for the event!! Lots of great information about hiking the PCT and a good short film too! Here is a synopsis of what is happening:
