*2009*

July

Friday 17th - Friday 24th: Green Mountain Club - Hosting the "Appalachian Trail Conservancy Biennial Conference" in Vermont @ CSC!

July 17-24, 2009 in Castleton, Vermont

The GMC will host the 2009 Appalachian Trail Conservancy Biennial Conference at Castleton State College. We need hundreds of volunteers to plan and run the conference, which will accommodate 800-1000 outdoor enthusiasts. (The last time the GMC hosted the ATC Biennial Conference was in 1985 at Green Mountain College.)

July 17-24, 2009 will be a week of celebrating and learning about the 2,170-mile Appalachian Trail. Hikers will come to Vermont from all over the U.S. Many will be AT thru-hikers or section hikers still working to complete the trail. Anyone coming to the conference can enjoy the following activities:

*Indoors:

ATC General Membership Meeting

Trail and Shelter Discussion Panels

Hiking and Backpacking Workshops

Exhibits, Vendors, Food & Friends

Evening Entertainment

Time to Talk and Meet Other Outdoor People

*Outdoors:

Appalachian Trail Hikes in Vermont

Long Trail Adventures

Family Programs

Bicycle Tours

Paddling Expeditions

Vermont History & Cultural Excursions

A Chance to Breathe Fresh Vermont Air

We need volunteers to lead hikes and excursions; register and greet guests; sell T-shirts; staff workshop information centers; manage logistics including signs, parking and camping; and much, much more. We need you NOW and for the event itself.

It is not too early to add your name to the growing list of potential volunteers. If you have a particular interest, let us know and we will be happy to accommodate you. (Our greatest need for volunteers will be Friday, July 17 – Monday, July 20.) Please contact Jean Anderson at jeanoutdoors@aol.com to let her know when you would like to help out. And thank you.
