SAVE THE DATE(S)

Hello Over the Hill Hikers, 

Please save the date for our upcoming Spring Potluck, May 14th, at the Doris Benz Center, 18 Heard Rd, Center Sandwich, NH 03227.  

Please arrive at 11:30, with lunch being at noon.  This is a potluck, so please bring your favorite dish to share and a hearty appetite, as the food is always outstanding.  

A sign up sheet is available at: Potluck Sign up Sheet.  It's best accessed through a computer, not an iPad or phone.  If you have any difficulties, feel free to email me, and I can add your dish to share.  

In addition, we have two upcoming dates to volunteer for light trail maintenance.  Please save the dates of June 8th, and June 22nd.  More information to follow.  This light trail maintenance is performed along the Bear Camp River Trail, a 17 mile trail that meanders through private property throughout Sandwich.  It's a lovely trail with waterfalls, and rolling terrain.  I hope you can join the Sandwich Conservation Commission on at least one of these dates, if not both!  

Looking forward to our season's hiking schedules and getting them published to our blog.  As of now they are not available, but we hope to have them available prior to the potluck.  Stay tuned for more.

Happy Spring & Mud Season, and of course ... get your bug nets ready!  

And lastly, it is a great time to put together a current first aid kit for your hiking pack as well as update your Emergency Contact Sheet.  Chances are your Advil is expired, and you might not be able to read which tablet is Benadryl or your emergency contact phone number.  

Looking forward to another great year ahead!

Sincerely,

Tracy Ripkey
