ANNOUNCEMENTS:

DUES: At the YHC annual meeting, we voted to increase dues from $10 to $12 beginning this coming year. The dues are being raised because we've had losses for the last couple of years. People that have already paid in advance will keep the $10 rate. Dues are payable in person at the Thanksgiving Dinner, or by mail to Kathy Yost, 510 Mundis Mill Rd., York, PA 17406. The dues year runs from October 1 - September 30. The dues levels are as follows:

$12.00 Hiker
$15.00 Trailblazer
$20.00 Pathfinder
$6.00 Initiation Fee

LOGBOOKS: The club will not be mailing out the annual log book this year due to the cost of mailing the individual log books. For people that do not pick-up the log book at the annual Turkey Hike and Dinner, they can be picked up at one of the quarterly meetings. The club will continue to mail log books to new club members. Please contact Alan Noble at , or 717-758-8470 if you have any comments about the change.
