On Wednesday, December 10, 2008, the Outings Committee will sponsor the first event in its Winter Hiking Series for Winter 2008-2009. Come join us for a Winter Hiking Skills Workshop starting at 6:30 pm at the South Portland Library. This event is intended for hikers of all abilities, rookie to experienced, to share knowledge on clothing, gear, and other essential knowledge in a classroom setting. AMC Maine Chapter leaders Peter Broderick, Joleen Rice, and Jeff Aceto will lead the discussion and share their experiences and knowledge.

This will be an excellent “things-you-need-to-know-before-you-go” opportunity for anyone who will be hiking this winter! This event is free and open to the public.

The South Portland Library is located at 483 Broadway in South Portland, ME. Parking is available off Highland Avenue.
