January 8th, 2014 DATC Meeting

Duncannon Appalachian Trail Community LogoThe Duncannon Appalachian Trail Community Advisory Committee will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, January 8th at 6:30 PM in the Duncannon Christ Lutheran Church located at 115 Church StreetRSVP is not required but it’s greatly appreciated.  Our agenda will focus on next year’s 2014 Duncannon A.T. Community Festival, the progress that our volunteers have made and further increasing meeting attendance among Duncannon residents.

THERE WILL BE FREE PIZZA AND SODA! Send in your RSVP to help us determine how much pizza we should buy.  Special thanks to everyone who chipped in to help pay for this month’s pizza!  In the past, the pizza was paid for by Trisha Sanders, Dennis Hurley, the DATC, Neal Brofee and Patrick Collins.  Contact datc@duncannonatc.org if you or your group would like to contribute to the DATC Meeting Pizza Fund.

The church where we’re holding our meeting accepts any unwanted used clothes that are still in good shape.  If you’ve been looking for a place to donate your old clothes that no longer fit after losing weight while hiking the trails, then this is a great opportunity to help the Duncannon community.  All clothes are first offered to Duncannon residents and what is not claimed goes to Community Aid which is a reputable non profit organization.

Anyone who would like to be involved with the DATC, offer guidance or influence its policies is welcome to attend our meetings. You also might find a volunteer opportunity that suits you in any number of fields such as: planning our next 2014 DATC Festival, fundraising, supporting the Duncannon Outdoors Club, learning about Appalachian Trail maintenance and inspiring people to enjoy outdoor activities in the Duncannon area.
We look forward to seeing you there Sean.
