Annual Trail Council Meeting - 2011
The Annual Trail Council Meeting has been scheduled for Saturday, April 9 at 10 AM to be held at the First Congregational Church in Canandaigua. Vice President for Trails, Steve Catherman is currently working on finalizing the Agenda, but State of the Trail Reports will be requested from Club Trail Chairs and Regional Coordinators. Trail Chairs will want to coordinate their reports with your Regional Coordinator so that you don't duplicate efforts.
If you have topics that you would like to have included on this agenda, please forward your request to Steve Catherman (stevec@roadrunner.com) no later than March 13.
At the very least, the following should attend the Trail Council Meeting:
Club Trails Chairs (or designee)
Regional Coordinators
Trail Management Team
FLT Board Members are invited to attend as are Club Presidents and/or Vice Presidents OR other Club Representatives. Other interested parties may attend as well. When we send out the agenda, we will ask for confirmation as to who will be attending so that we can plan for refreshments and set up the room with enough chairs.
The Trail Council Meeting is also a time where we can resupply you with signs, trail disks, various stickers, carsonite posts, maps, brochures, yellow cards for your register boxes, etc. etc. etc. We are currently out of nice wooden trail register boxes, but do have a few old plastic and metal mailboxes that could be used (at least temporarily). SO, if you have needs for those items (or other "stuff"), PLEASE NOTIFY THE FLT OFFICE (FLTinfo@fingerlakestrail.org) no later than April 6.
