2019 Hike for Hospice Update

The 2019 Hike for Hospice event will be on May 5, 2019 in Laurier Woods. This
is an opportunity for people to enjoy the beauty of Nature!

This is a short event. We will meet at 0930ET in the parking lot at the end
of Brule Street to give out the SMEAC, assign checkpoints, and then head out
to our respective spots in Laurier Woods. During the event I will be roving
throughout the trails. The hike itself starts at 1100ET, and most
participants are expected to be clear by 1300ET. Last year we had some people
start their walk before 1030ET.

The organizers will have trail marshals where able, as well as a sweep at the
end of the event. A complimentary meal will be provided to event volunteers.
As always, however, you are ultimately responsible for your own dietary and
medical needs, so come prepared.

One parking spot has been assigned in the start/finish area for our base
station and vehicle (Drew's Flex). Everyone else is to park in one of the
designated lots.

Some suggested items to bring include:
*Handheld radio
*Blue reflective vest to wear over outer clothing (If you do not have one,
you can borrow one from the club.)
*Club ball cap, if you have one
*Your own chair or other seating arrangements
*Appropriate clothing for the weather.
*Water bottle

I was in Laurier Woods today and saw only one black fly. You will probably not need fly dope, but you may need sunscreen. :)
