Well, we're less than one week away from the Christmas party and handing
out trail work awards and prizes. I wanted to list everyone who will be
receiving an award next Monday evening at the Christmas Party at Saint
Arnolds Brewery. The party starts at 6:30 pm and lasts until 9:30 pm. The
cost is $5/person and covers fermented and alternative beverages, as well
as food from El Meson (for a map see www.saintarnold.com). Please join
us!!!

We are happy to report that we had 101 volunteers contribute at least 1
hour to trail work, and 24 of these people have done more than 10 hours.
The total number of hours so far is 757.50 hours (this number does not
include the hours people spent planning the reroutes and repairs). Please
note that we did not start tracking the hours until April of this year, and
it did not include the many hours people spent at the Ant Hills until
recently. And, as most of you are aware, 4 of our last 5 work parties at
Memorial were rained out making this total number a little smaller than it
should have been. Next year will begin with the MP work party this weekend
and be more inclusive of each location where work is being performed (Pay
Dirt hours will end in May per TMBRA rules).
