[cdt-l@mailman.backcountry.net (Marshall Karon)]

The ALDHA-WEST GATHERING is proceeding as planned this Friday, Saturday, and 
Sunday on beautiful Lake Wenatchee in Northern Washington. The costs are as 
minimal as we can make them and the accomodations should be super. The 
events start Friday, Sept 28th, at 5 pm and go through Sunday after lunch.

Please - if you haven't registered yet and plan to attend, please let us 
know so we can plan food. See the message below.

Please read the message below. We hope to see many of you there.

>Hello all:
>
>Thanks to the many of you who have registered for next weekend's Gathering 
>at Lake Wenatchee, Washington.  The program has been finalized, and I 
>believe we have an exceptional group of presenters and moderators lined up, 
>including authors Chris Townsend, Karen Berger, and David Patterson, to 
>mention just a few.
>
>Unfortunately, however, registration for the Gathering hasn't been as 
>robust as I had hoped.  ALDHA-West committed to a roomier, more 
>accommodating facility for this year's Gathering and it is important for 
>the organization's fiscal health that we have a good showing.
>
>If you are thinking of attending, but haven't registered or contacted me, 
>please do so as soon as possible (509-548-7016; hikertrash@earthlink.net).  
>We still have plenty of room and would enjoy having you attend.  If you are 
>attending and have friends or family members who would enjoy a weekend on 
>the shores of beautiful Lake Wenatchee, please consider bringing them 
>along.
>
>If you are already attending, please remember to bring your slides, as we 
>will have 11 hours of open-call shows during the Gathering.  We will also 
>have room to display new or used gear you'd like to sell (or you can donate 
>it to ALDHA-West and we'll keep the proceeds).
>
>Please call or email me if you have questions.  More information can also 
>be found at www.aldhawest.org.
>
>See you at the Gathering!
