Foothills Branch Year-End Celebration and Volunteer Recognition Night

Our branch has accomplished great things this year, delivering top-notch learning opportunities, outdoor adventures and events.  

Please join us for a fun evening  to make new Mountaineers friends, reconnect with fellow volunteers and members, and say thank you to the people who have made our winter sports, hiking, backpacking and other courses and programs happen. Let's celebrate the dedication, comaraderie and sense of community that shine bright across Foothills.  

The evening will consist of a branch meeting and informational update and a volunteer recognition event, plus a tasty dinner catered by Maggiano's Little Italy (vegetarian options included)!   Non-alcoholic beverages will also be provided.   Anyone who feels moved to bring a salad or dessert is encouraged to do so, but it's not required.

A s a special treat,  trail guidebook author Craig Romano   – author of 14 guidebooks – will join us  to take us on an adventure through Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument as he talks about this special place and highlights some of his favorite trails  within the  monument.   Craig’s book “Day Hiking Mount St. Helens” was published by The Mountaineers Books on May 1, 2015. This will be Craig’s first area appearance to discuss his latest guidebook.

If you're a Foothills Branch member, a Foothills committee volunteer, or just want to find out more about our little powerhouse of a branch, we'd love for you to join us!  Please RSVP so that we know how many people to expect.
