Chapter Annual Meeting
Join us for our January "Annual Meeting" at 6 PM Monday, January 18, at the Chippewa Falls Public Library. We'll be approving a budget for 2010, electing officers, and giving final approval to the Bylaw amendments we approved preliminarily in November. We'll spend a few moments basking in the transition between a job well done in 2009 and the opportunities that await us in 2010. And we have a special treat we'll just call "The Bridges of Chippewa County".
If you'd like a copy of the bylaws as amended emailed to you in advance of the meeting, please request one by emailingchapter@iatchippewa.org.
Snowshoeing By Moonlight
The dates for the ever-popular evening snowshoe hikes at the Chippewa Moraine Visitor Center are Friday, Jan. 29 and Saturday, Feb. 27. An introductory program begins at 6:30 PM and the hike follows at 7. Snowshoes are available at the center, but you need to reserve them ahead by calling 715 967-2800. The hike takes place regardless of the weather, led by reserve naturalist Rod Gont.
Calendar Cards
Our annual calendar postcard is a perennial favorite, with a preliminary listing of the dates and events we've planned for 2010. Your card is on its way and you should receive it shortly. If you'd like extra copies, you can pick one up at the meeting, at the Chippewa Moraine Visitor Center, or you'll soon be able to find a special version on the chapter web site.
