Regional Coordinator Retreat

Sun, 30 Mar 2014 14:25:15 GMT

I am sitting at Camp Bonnie Brae in East Otis, MA with Women Outdoors Board of Directors and other Regional Coordinators. We are having great discussions about how to reinvigorate not on the CT chapter but the national organization.
We are exploring more programs and activities that cross regions. We are discussing including not only the traditional activities such as hiking and kayaking but also looking to offer programs such as Ropes courses, archery and basic outdoor skills.
We need to change the model to make your membership dues worth your investment. I am excited about the energy and ideas that have come from this meeting. I want to share that enthusiasm with all of you!
More to come!

August 3rd Farmington River Paddle

Wed, 14 Aug 2013 18:29:19 GMT

Here is a quick note from Krista, the trip leader for the last paddle:

"The kayak adventure on Aug. 3 went well. Including myself we had a group of three. The sun broke through the clouds and the weather was great. The paddling and conversaton was easy. The unplanned pizza and icecream was tasty"

It looks like we are making progress towards getting an active CT chapter again. We have an upcoming paddle this weekend so check your email for details.
