[at-l] AT License Plates

[Snodrog5 at aol.com (Snodrog5@xxxxxxx)]

Back in July, at-l member Thru-Thinker (aka Clark Wright) told us about this. 
Congrats, Thru-Thinker on having a great idea and instigating to make it 
happen!

>From the ATC website: 
N.C. Appalachian Trail License Plate Up to the Governor Now
If Gov. Michael F. Easley signs the bill and if Trail supporters step up to 
show their connection, the Appalachian Trail Conference could benefit in a 
major way from a measure passed in the waning hours of the North Carolina General 
Assembly's session last month. The bill authorizes a special Appalachian Trail 
license plate if 300 Tar Heel drivers sign up for it. It would cost $50 a 
year, with $20 earmarked for ATC projects in North Carolina, home to about 285 
miles of the A.T. (counting border-straddling stretches) and more than 3,000 ATC 
members. State Senator Joe Sam Queen has been the champion of the measure all 
year, with ATC member Clark Wright a significant instigator from outside the 
legislature. Queen ? an architect who also is involved in many bluegrass music 
festivals within reach of the Trail ? represents a western North Carolina 
district and lives near Asheville.
