A great time was had by all at the Volunteer Appreciation Get Together at Rendezvous Brewing in Hackensack! Thank you for the hospitality, the donation of the event space and the OA system - you are amazing - and so are all the volunteers that mow, trim, w**d whack and rebuild the trail for us all to enjoy!

Great news! Waboose campsite (that was vandalized a few weeks back) is now ready for camping!

Thanks to our board members who were there to supervise (and we pitched in to help too), those that did the damage came back to rectify the situation. We thank them for that! They did a great job with good attitudes and we are appreciative that they decided to help fix the situation. Amazing job by all!

As a bonus - there is a new bench table by the fire ring to replace the log bench that was damaged. Amazing thank you to Bruce Johnson for that.

ITM Chapter volunteers (among others) are profiled in the Fall issue of Minnesota Trails Magazine.
