Cook-out at Roger’s

Our food coordinator Liz sent me this note to post here:

Hello Hikers (past, present and future).

Great picnic this year. First I want to thank everyone who came, helped, or supported us in many ways. Thank you. Because of your generosity, I will be giving Steven and Susan a nice check which will pay for the website domain, other hiking related hidden costs, and a couple of meals out at their favorite restaurants.

Other comments I would like to pass on:

1) What do you think of changing the name of this event to the “hikers’ reunion” rather than hikers cookout? It really is a gathering of past and present hikers and I would like to encourage more people who have been associated with the group to feel welcome at this special party.

2) Multiple people commented to me that there were fewer salads/side dishes than before. Of course, no one went away hungry and the chicken was the star of the show, but just wanted you to know that many people appreciate and look forward to the variety of other foods as well.

3) Did anyone take a picture of Steven in his super-hero armor? Since we did not get a picture of him in a swim suit this year, this is even better! Please share. For a little fun, shall we come up with a name for him in his new persona? Here are a few ideas just to get you started: S-S Trail Cruiser (for Super Steve)? Ninja Trailblazer?

Thanks again, everyone.

See you on the path. Liz
