It's Time to Kick-off Hiking Season |
|
Good news for hikers - both hiking groups are making plans for the hiking season!
What's the difference between the two hiking groups? Here's a quick recap:
-
Hearty Soles Hiking Group hikes April to October on various days. Their hikes range from 4 to 10 miles and include moderate to challenging increases in elevation.
-
Mid Soles Hiking Group hikes or walks April to October. Their hikes are usually 4-8 miles with moderate or less increases in elevation.
Can I sign up for both hiking groups? Yes, it’s a great idea to sign up for both groups to learn what hikes work best for you.
Planning Meetings
The Hearty Soles Hiking Group's Spring Kickoff meeting is 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 11. Members can meet at Carolyn Spaniol’s home or digitally through Google Meets. Detailed information will be sent the week of April 3.
Midsoles Hiking Group has two hikes in April:
Friday, April 14: Benham Falls to Slough Meadows, 4.6 miles R/T with 246-foot elevation gain.
Tuesday, April 25 – Steins Pillar, 3.8 miles R/T with 770-foot elevation gain.

Hands to Hearts Community Service Projects |
|
Started this year, Hands to Hearts is a designed to bring together volunteers and organizations serving South Deschutes County.
The focus for the first year will be on the five priorities of SRWC’s philanthropy program - hunger, shelter, child safety, education/youth development, and health/mental health.
Many SRWC members have asked about opportunities to provide hands on assistance, and this program has been created to meet those requests. A small team of SRWC members will solicit, vet and select projects. The team will organize volunteers and the liaisons with the organizations.
We are creating a list of interested members who can be called as projects develop. Volunteerism will be open to SRWC members and family members/friends.
The goal for 2023 is to complete two to three projects within the focus of SRWC’s philanthropy program. In the future, the idea is to expand the program to include the interests of members, such as trail building and community development. The one consistent criterion is the projects will be focused on benefiting residents of South Deschutes County. The projects also will be time-limited of one day or less, and the organization must provide the equipment, supplies and logistics.
If you are interested in volunteering or working as a team coordinator, please email Hands to Hearts Project Leader Nola Horton-Jones at
Volunteer Opportunity
MountainStar Relief Nursery: Individual volunteer opportunities include weekly classroom positions, occasional support with La Pine site needs such as organizing the food pantry, and/or becoming a “Fairy Godparent” to help meet the needs of one child/family enrolled in the La Pine program. Contact Elaine Klautzsch at elainek@mtstar.org.

Spring into reading with a book club |
|
The eight SRWC Book Clubs are going strong, and a waitlist is forming for the next book club.
Did you know book clubs can check out Deschutes Library Book Club Kits for many popular and classic books?
The kits include 12 copies of the book and are available for two months. Often, there is a waitlist, so clubs need some flexibility in planning what they will read.
