Trekker's Log, 4-17-07

Preparation Day and Presentation to home club, the Rotary Club of Conifer.

This was the first "official" event of the Rotary CDT Challenge. Club members were very receptive to the program, which features a PowerPoint Presentation on the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT). The Challenge, by the way, is just one of several International Community Service Projects sponsored by this 39-member club.

Club members have already embraced in a significant way the contributions part of the Challenge. The club was asked to sponsor a trail segment, contributing $19,400 toward the goal of $1,000 per mile for the 3100-mile trail. Every member of the club responded, and a total of over $27,000 was pledged, to be contributed on or before March 31, 2009. The Rotary Club of Conifer is truly Leading the Way in this respect!
