EXECUTIVE CORNER<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Your CORE executive is working on a couple projects to improve the club experience and promote safety.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Courses:<\/strong> The Peterman fund pays for some courses each year. We are currently making plans for a wilderness first aid course, to be held in the March\/April 2017 time frame. Watch for it and take advantage of this club benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Club Banner:\u00a0<\/strong>Plans are taking shape to have a club banner made that we can show at display booths.\u00a0 It will feature our logo and a collage of past event photos. That collection of potential PICs is collected in a\u00a0 CORE photo album at<\/span>\u00a0http:\/\/public.fotki.com\/corehike\/2016\/core-banner-photos\/<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have a privacy concern where you may not want your picture displayed in a public forum, please contact a member of the CORE executive, indicate which photo you object to, and we’ll remove it from the mix.<\/span><\/p>\n

Event Planning: <\/strong>We’ve heard your comments that our calendar needs more and a wider variety of events.\u00a0 As a volunteer club, it depends on you the members to come out, suggest outings you would like go on, and potentially start leading hikes, snowshoe trips etc. So this year at the Christmas Party in November, we’re going to seek your input on activities you would like to participate in and trails you’d like to explore. So bring your ideas, and if you would like to start leading some come club outings, seek out our\u00a0 Executive Trip coordinator David V.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

And now, on with the show……<\/span><\/p>\n

October 2016 Club Meeting<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

HALLOWEEN PARTY <\/strong>: Due to a double booking at the community centre we’ve had to change the date of the monthly meeting. Instead of the usual presentation we are hosting a Halloween party – same place (1727 14th Avenue S.W.) and time of 7:00 on Friday OCTOBER 28<\/strong>. CORE will provide beverages and some food but are asking for people to bring a Halloween treat if they wish. For more information, please see the CORE calendar.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Random Poem
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
This poem is a bit ahead of schedule, but it does remind us Fall is coming. Enjoy your October…<\/em><\/div>\n
November<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
By Maggie Dietz<\/a> <\/span><\/div>\n

Show’s over, folks. And didn’t October do<\/span><\/div>\n
A bang-up job? Crisp breezes, full-throated cries<\/span><\/div>\n
Of migrating geese, low-floating coral moon.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Nothing left but fool’s gold in the trees.<\/span><\/div>\n
Did I love it enough, the full-throttle foliage,<\/span><\/div>\n
While it lasted? Was I dazzled? The bees<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Have up and quit their last-ditch flights of forage<\/span><\/div>\n
And gone to shiver in their winter clusters.<\/span><\/div>\n
Field mice hit the barns, big squirrels gorge<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
On busted chestnuts. A sky like hardened plaster<\/span><\/div>\n
Hovers. The pasty river, its next of kin,<\/span><\/div>\n
Coughs up reed grass fat as feather dusters.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Even the swarms of kids have given in<\/span><\/div>\n
To winter’s big excuse, boxed-in allure:<\/span><\/div>\n
TVs ricochet light behind pulled curtains.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The days throw up a closed sign around four.<\/span><\/div>\n
The hapless customer who’d wanted something<\/span><\/div>\n
Arrives to find lights out, a bolted door.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

See you on the the trails…<\/span><\/p>\n
