Trail Work Day
at Rolling Ridge

Saturday, April 25, 2009
9 am - 2 pm

Sponsored by:
Rolling Ridge Study Retreat Community
For Love of Children Outdoor Education Center
Friends Wilderness Center

Celebrate Earth Day by spending Saturday marking, raking, and redefining trails at Rolling Ridge. This is a wonderful opportunity for all the various groups who love the mountain to join forces and energies. We'll work together morning and afternoon with a break for lunch and fellowship along the way.

Please being work gloves, a water bottle, and a helpful spirit. We have plenty of rakes and tools for hanging blazes. We will meet at the Retreat House and move out from there.

We will provide a simple lunch and would appreciate an RSVP (scot@rollingridge.net) so we know how many lunches to make. If you have very particular dietary restrictions, you might want to bring what you need – otherwise we'll have vegetarian options and carnivorous options!

Quote of the Day

Part of being human is to experience moments of true perception about those things that touch you so intimately that suddenly you see. What you see (or read or hear) at such moments has a ring of truth about it, not just of a general kind but as something that takes on a dimension and depth for you so that it becomes your truth. It seems to be making a claim on you. Such moments don't come often. Hold on to them. Cherish them until they become so much a part of you as to be second nature. For there is only one persistent demand made upon us by the Spirit. It is that we are receptive. That we keep our eyes open, our minds unclosed. It is, in short, that we retain all our lives our sense of wonder.
