Hi everyone,

It's not too late if you want to present a workshop or slide show at this
year's Gathering. But you must act quickly, by e-mail, before the end of
this week. Final cutoff will be this Friday, Sept. 7.
Send an e-mail reply to this address listing the title of the presentation,
who will be the presenter, roughly how long it will be, and whether it will
have slides or other media, and then briefly describe what it will be about
so we can include a writeup in the program.
So far, we have about 40 workshops and/or slide shows on tap. A list of each
topic and the presenter follows. Avoiding duplication is good, but sometimes
it's not a bad idea to have more than one workshop on the same trail or
topic, especially if it's a popular trail. That gives participants another
option in the program when so many good things seem to be happening in the
same time slot.
These workshops are in addition to the evening programs we have lined up.
On Sunday night, we plan to have feature slide shows on Antarctica, the
Continental Divide and the Appalachian Trail.
Please note: So far, no one to my knowledge has come forward to offer a
workshop on the Pacific Crest Trail. We'd like to be able to offer that
again this year. It's one of the most popular workshops of the whole
weekend. If you have a solid presentation with slides that you and possibly
others would like to give, please let me know.
It would also be great to get a workshop this year on some trails we have
barely touched, if at all, in the past four Gatherings. Like the Buckeye
Trail in Ohio, the C&O Canal Towpath, the Great Smoky Mountains trail
system, the Ozark Trail and/or Ozark Highlands Trail, the Natchez Trace, or
the Mountains to the Sea Trail.
If you filled out a workshop form and recently mailed it to our N.H.
address, chances are it's still enroute to me. So don't be dismayed if you
don't see your name below.
I hope to have a program posted on the Web by about Sept. 12, although
specific room numbers won't be available until the actual program is
printed.
Thanks everybody!
