 President's Letter
By Michele Cormier, Summer
2009
"2009 is proving to be a
year of extremes for the Randolph Mountain Club. Trying to get
our heads wrapped around the idea of reduced revenues has been
a major challenge for the Board."

And I believe I am the first President from Randolph in quite
some time..."

 President's Letter
By Jamie Maddock,
Summer 2008
"In the past decade the
RMC has done a great job of adapting to the information age.
Our membership is now spread out all over the country and in
general spends much less time in Randolph than earlier generations
did..."

 President's
Letter
By Jamie Maddock,
Winter 2007-2008
"In the last few years the
club has undergone a transition from our most senior generation
to our younger members. We have been left quite a legacy: a strong
membership, well maintained trails and facilities, and a tradition
of volunteering and getting the job done."

 President's Letter
By Jamie Maddock,
Summer 2007
"In the same way, the RMC
is entering a new season and the same changes serve to renew
and reinvigorate our club. We have built the Stearns Lodge and
completed quite a task. Much of the club’s time and energy
has gone into the construction effort. Our continuing challenge
is to keep the RMC healthy and vibrant for the future."

 President's Letter
By Jamie Maddock, Winter 2006-2007
"This summer was very successful
for the club as a whole. The Fourth of July Tea was a vibrant
event. All ages were represented in the festive crowd. The Board
and I had the honor of accepting the deed for the Stearns Lodge
land from the Tuckers."

 President's Letter
By Jamie Maddock,
Summer 2006
"This past winter was a
relatively snowless one for Randolph and the RMC paths. While
not great news for winter enthusiasts, the conditions did help
the RMC with its base camp efforts. The permitting process is
now completed, and construction will begin in late summer or
early fall."

 President's
Letter
By Jamie Maddock,
Winter 2005-2006
"Hello from Randolph! It's
been a windy fall here in RMC country. In late September, an
especially dramatic storm came through with winds over 100 mph
on the summits and over 60 mph in the valley. This has made some
extra work for our volunteers and our fall trail crew..."

 President's Letter
By Mary Brown,
Summer 2005
"The Board of the RMC is
continuing to work on a permanent solution for housing its trail
crews and caretakers. The Base Camp Building Committee, chaired
by Paul Cormier and Doug Mayer, has been following up on the
many thoughtful suggestions made during one-on-one interviews
and at the Annual Meeting last summer."
|
 President's
Letter
By Mary Brown,
Winter 2004-2005
"Plans for a Base Camp to
house RMC trail crews and caretakers on days off are proceeding
quietly. An excellent building committee under the leadership
of Paul Cormier is working to develop a design and a construction
method that will give the club this much-needed facility at a
lower cost than the original plan."

 President's Letter
By Mary Brown,
Summer 2004
"The issue of a permanent
basecamp to house the RMC’s trail crews and caretakers is
once again on the front burner. The club has been offered land
in the valley on which to build its own facility. This opens
up the possibility for the club to take a huge step."

 President's
Letter
By Mary Brown,
Winter 2003-2004
"In the few months I have
been president, and while there were no major issues, I have
spent most of my energies tightening up the administration of
the club’s activities and routinizing reporting from each
of the committees."

 President's Letter
By Mike Pelchat,
Summer 2003
"The good news is that the
Bowman Basecamp Committee has morphed into The Valley Home Needs
and Search Committee. This new committee will be looking at land
or buildings in Randolph that meet our criteria for a permanent
RMC home for our summer trail crews, caretakers on their days
off..."

 President's
Letter
By Mike Pelchat,
Winter 2002-2003
"Beginning with this issue,
the RMC newsletter will be published twice a year. Through it,
we hope to inform the entire membership about all that is happening
within the organization..."
