Hiking Fellowship - July 13
Good morning fellow hiking enthusiasts,
 
The next hike of our Summer Series on Mount Lemmon is coming up in two weeks.  Due to our higher summer temperatures, early sunrises, the already ramped up monsoon season and numerous requests received, we will be getting off to earlier starts on the summer hikes.  Meeting place will continue to be LeBuzz on Tanque Verde and Catalina Highway.
 
Saturday, July 13 - Meadow and Mount Lemmon Loop - 6:30AM meet time for 8:00 AM start
This hike is rated as Easy covering 2.1 miles and 341 vertical feet.  Although short in distance the hike is long in spectacular views from the highest points on the mountain.  This beautiful hike will also take us to one of the Fire Lookout Towers overlooking the Catalinas and Tucson.  
 
I hope that we will have a great turnout like the first hike of the Summer Series and see you on the trails!

Service Projects - 2024-2025
The Service Project Committee is making plans for next year’s projects. We will offer many of the same projects, but are open to a few new ones, as well.
 
If you would like to propose a new project, please email me no later than July 10th so the committee can consider whether to take it on as an official RCOT project.  One caveat- if you propose a project, you must be willing to be the Team Captain which entails participating in the Service Project lunch on September 4th, recruiting volunteers via the newsletter/announcements at meetings, and organizing the details to ensure the project’s success.
 
Please include:
  • Proposed date(s) if you know them
  • Scope of the project
  • How many volunteers will be needed
 
I am also looking for a volunteer to be the Team Captain of the Recycling Project. Anyone interested please contact me.
 
 
Many thanks!
Diana Madaras
