Seniors Hike

Thursday Afternoons 1-3 PM (approx) Note: Due to weather, substitutions or cancellations may be necessary. Participants will be notified of changes by email. Please provide your email to Jim Oliphant, jimoliphant50@gmail.com. Carpooling is greatly encouraged for all out-of-town locations in order to reduce our carbon footprint. By sharing your vehicle with others and taking turns, we can reduce the cost of gas for everyone. Carpooling will be done from the Big Y shopping plaza (far right side facing the plaza), designated by the letter A, or the red public parking lot on the corner of Oak and Co􏰁age St., designated by the le􏰁er B. We will plan to leave the parking areas at 12:30. If you are unable or unwilling to drive at all, perhaps you can offer to donate $1 to help cover the cost of gas.
