Help Wanted – Annual Dinner

We need several people to help at the Annual Dinner by handing out name tags and collecting money for beer and wine. If enough people volunteer, nobody will have to help for more than 30 minutes, and we can all have time to socialize. If you can help, please contact Lenny Bernstein by phone (828-236-0192) or e-mail (Lsberns@worldnet.att.net). Many thanks.

 

CMC’s Annual Banquet and Meeting will be held on Friday, November 11, at The Chariot Restaurant in Hendersonville. A social hour will begin at 6:00 p.m., dinner at 7:00, and the meeting at 8:00.

 

The dinner will cost $22 per person and beer and wine will be available for $3. Vegetarian meals will be available on request. Send your dinner reservation form and 2006 membership renewal to CMC, P.O. Box 68, Asheville, NC 28802. A map showing the location of the restaurant is attached to the reservation form.

 

The main items of business at the meeting will be election of next year’s officers and Council members, approval of next year’s budget and a new set of by-laws and recognition of CMC members who have made outstanding contributions to the Club’s efforts, both in 2005 and long term.

 

Our guest speaker will be Jeffrey Hunter, Executive Director of the Southeast Foot Trails Coalition, which has as one of its goals creation of a 5,000 mile network of trails in the southeast that would include CMC’s sections of both the AT and MST. CMC is a member of this coalition.

 

Come join us, spend some time with your hiking friends, and help manage the Club’s activities.
