Want to volunteer for the trails by drinking beer and having fun? (Okay, there's a wee bit of work involved.) Grapevine in Baxter is having their annual Beertopia Festival on March 9th and is in need of more help behind the bar. The Baxter Trail Club is coordinating volunteers for the event as a fundraiser, and if we provide volunteers, we can earn $75 per person to fund Tega Cay Trails activities!

From Charlie Lieske of Baxter Trail Club:

Grapevine, one of Baxter Trail Club's strongest supporters, has offered us a fund raising opportunity; working at Beertopia! Saturday, March 9, is the date of their annual Beertopia festival, which is held in the parking lot beside the shop. Beertopia has grown into a rather large, and very successful, event requiring more and more man power to run.

We are looking for 25 volunteers to work a variety of jobs before, during, and after, the event. From 10:00-7:00 pm, March 9, we will pour beers, deliver ice, take out trash, monitor enter and exit points, etc. You're commitment is for the full 9-hours. You'll get to enjoy the music and energy while working hard! The taps open up to volunteers after the event!

The trail club will provide each volunteer a long-sleeve Trail Club logo shirt to wear at the event and then keep. The club will use the money raised to further its mission.

Grapevine will also be providing shirts for all volunteers (so you're easy to spot), as well as food and drink for all volunteers at an after-party.

Looks like the construction on Hunters Run is going to be a rear entrance to the school. The clearing extends to the school site, and stairs are being installed.

Inspiring Movement

Dear [person],

You have no idea how proud I am of you, of us, and of our movement.

More than 10,000 Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) supporters—joined by countless advocates from partner organizations around the country—contacted our governors, encouraging them to not opt out of the Recreational Trails Program (RTP).

The results were astounding. Of all 50 states and the District of Columbia, only Kansas and Florida opted out of the RTP!

We have negotiated with top officials in Florida to minimize the impact of this decision by securing commitments to fully fund the dollars on recreational trails from other programs.  And don’t think for a moment that we won’t keep fighting in Kansas.

We know firsthand that in many states your voices tilted the scales in our favor. And, as the first test under the new federal transportation bill MAP-21, we’ve shown that trails, walking and bicycling have an essential place in America’s transportation future—and we won’t stand for anything less.

Please see this letter from RTC President Keith Laughlin congratulating the trails movement on this recent victory.

With gratitude,

Marianne Wesley Fowler Sr. Vice President of Federal Relations Rails-to-Trails Conservancy

P.S. I thought you'd like to hear another bit of good news: Our emergency fundraising effort that our president, Keith Laughlin, authorized in late August to help us continue defending crucial trail programs like RTP was successful. We raised more than $100,000! Thank you so much to everyone who helped us reach that bar.
