Good news, we have our Work project on the Arizona Trail scheduled! The coordinator at the Arizona Trail Association, Tasha Pontifex, was able to get us all working together on March 23rd.
Description of Work Project:
Rotarians and guests will provide maintenance on about a one-mile section of the Arizona Trail south of Gabe Zimmerman Trailhead and north of Sahuarita Road. Our goal is to ensure that section of the trail is in great shape for runners competing in an event scheduled for Mid - April.
The work is across gentle terrain on an expertly built trail. We will make sure rocks and vegetation are off the trail. We will meet up and carpool at a location about an hour prior to the event starting. Final transportation details will be sent out the week before the event. Total time, expect to be at the event from 7:30 to 3:00, including travel. There is also talk of grabbing a drink or some food on the way home.
In this project you get to work on the Arizona Trail, hike, and get credit for a Rotary work project all in one! As always when hiking: dress appropriately to the weather, wear boots and gloves, bring your sunscreen and have sufficient water and snacks.
So, if you can join us on Saturday, March 23rd, please email me and Jim back to confirm. For any additional questions call or email Chuck or Jim.
