The 2015 Christmas cookie exchange will be on Friday, December 11, at Susan Hirst’s house following scheduled the walk.  If you are not able to walk, you may come to Susan’s house and join the party at 9:45 am.

Walkers will meet at Susan’s house,  1932 Rhododendron Way, to start the walk and follow the trail route to Haggen’s at Barkley Square and back again.  There is on-the-street parking; please leave the driveway clear.

If you wish to exchange cookies, bring 3 dozen cookies to share and containers to carry cookies home with you.  If you choose not to participate in the exchange, you’re welcome to bring a little food to share and join the party.

Look forward to social time with good friends, seasonal music and plenty of treats.  Contact Susan Hirst if you have questions.

Walking friends put on the gloves and pitched in to clear invasive blackberries along the Lower Padden Creek/Interurban Trail.   In a short time, the barrels were full of the thorny plants.  

A special walk is planned on Monday, Oct. 19 in Crescent Beach, near White Rock, BC. The outing will include about an hour loop walk on a level coastal trail in Crescent Beach with views of Vancouver – if the day is clear.  The trail includes a stretch by the sea, some wetlands, a bird sanctuary and a stroll through town. After the walk, we can drive to White Rock (10 minutes or so) for lunch, a walk on the pier or a visit to the museum. 

Participants will meet in the Safeway Parking lot on Sunset at 9:30 am.

Interested walkers should contact Marybeth.
