Meet new friends, hike a bit, and hear what the Trail Conference has been doing in the last year and what it has in mind for the future at this year’s Trail Conference Annual Membership Meeting on Saturday, October 16, in the New Jersey section of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission.
This meeting, open to all NY-NJ Trail Conference members, club delegates, their immediate families and invited guests, will emphasize strengthening ties to the Conference’s member clubs.
Club representatives will have the opportunity to set up information tables and present news about their clubs to all participants. The interchange of ideas will establish some guidelines for our future relationships, what the Trail Conference can do for our member clubs and what our member clubs can do for the Conference.
The day begins with light refreshments and coffee at 9:00 a.m. The short business meeting begins at 9:30 followed by hikes between 11:00 a.m. and 3:30p.m. The day’s events conclude with an after-hike reception beginning at 3:30 p.m.
Hiking is a traditional part of our annual meetings. This year there will be an historic interpretive walk with Eric Nelsen of PIPC/NJ that will include a tour of the Blackledge-Kearney House (mistakenly identified with General Cornwallis). Additional hikes along the cliffs on the Long Path and close to the Hudson River on the Shore Trail will be offered as well.
Early registration is recommended. Registration fee for the full day’s events is $6 for adults and $4 for children under 14 years of age. Public transportation is available; details will be sent with your registration confirmation.
