TEHCC Dinner Meetings

Traditionally, TEHCC holds two dinner meetings each year. All TEHCC members,
program affiliates, and
friends are welcome at these dinner meetings, and special invitations are often extended
to our partners in A.T. management (the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and the U.S. Forest
Service). Our dinner meetings consist of dinner, club business and awards, and a
program. The fall dinner meeting is usually held in October or November, and the
winter/spring dinner meeting is usually in
February, March, or April.
Here's a summary of our dinner meetings since 1993:
