From the March 1997 edition of Legends
This year the edmonton Overlanders are pleased to announce that this year they have scheduled 24 Wednesday evening events in a row - that's every Wednesday from mid April until the end of Septmeber, including all of July and August! Barry has been organizing event directors and locations. There's always room for more event directors (there's even a two evening course to learn how to do it).
There are plenty of events in the forest this year. In the Spring there are two weekends with events on both Saturday and Sunday. In July, it's EOOC's turn to host the Alberta Championships - this will include register-on-the-day Map Hiker courses. In the Fall there's anothger weekend of forest events. Check the enclosed schedule for the exact dates and mark them on your calendar NOW.
Again this year we will be putting on a relay event for the Corporate Challenge on 31 May. Eugene will be looking for volunteers to help with this event. Most of the jobs requier no special training.
This event will be sponsored by Map Town.
Since our last newsletter two more members have joined our executive committee. Tom DeVries is our new secretary - he brings his lap top to our meetings and types the minutes as we speak!
Barbara Davidson is our new promotions person. She's getting married in the summer, so will appreciate offers of help distributing schedules advertisng events etc.
Thanks to the more than 100 members who renewed their memberships promptly. They have all received a coupon to give to a friend for a free entry to any event put on by the club this season.
