Alumni Applications, Oops..

Nolan Hisey, a Konnarock Alum, works in the Mount Rogers high country during week #1 in 2006

Well I've done it, seems like in years past, trail crew alumni have received a letter of appreciation as well as an alumni application in the mail after their week(s) with the crew. This last year, none of this happened which is entirely my fault. In my defense I'd like to point out that both myself and our program assistant, Alice, are new and do not necessarily know every step of administering the program so if we're doing something wrong we usually don't know it until someone speaks up, so please bear with us.

Alright, that being said, WE WANT YOU BACK!! A vital part of not just Konnarock but the overall trail crew program is alumni. We want to see your faces at base camp to share stories of years past and help us show new Volunteers the ropes.

As you may or may not know, the 2007 Konnarock schedule is up on ATC’s website but you can also click here to get a PDF version for your very own. Also, please click here for an electronic version of the alumni application (new Volunteers please complete the Volunteer application located here) ; you may fill it out electronically and print it out and send it my snail mail or send it back to us electronically at crews@appalachiantrail.org. Finally, just in case you cannot access a computer to fill/print out the application, expect an application in the mail in the coming weeks.

Again, I apologize for the absent-mindedness, and I hope to see everyone back this season!

Cheers,

Kerry
