TREAD LIGHTLY

Okay guys...as of the beginning of the year, we will be joining TREAD LIGHTLY.

It's a great way to show we are dedicated to making sure that trails are used properly,
that we are not going to be on illegal trails, etc. etc.

To check out what they're all about, here's their website: TREAD LIGHTLY.ORG

As a club, we get:

THIS IS SO GOOD FOR US!!!

Cool!

im glad we are going this path with the club. makes me feel like it is going the right direction. my prayers are being answered.

Mine will be answered when you are home safely.

WE ARE NOW A MEMBER CLUB AT TREAD LIGHTLY!!!


We'll be receiving our vinyl banner (It's bigger than our Alpha/Omega vinyl banner and that's 72"!!!!)
newsletters and books, etc etc. (those who have their address in the address section get dibs on the
bi-annual newsletter seeing as I know where to send it! So get your address in!!!)

This is a great thing guys!!! It's $100 a year for club membership. I paid it and do not see a need to use
any of our left-over $15 (of the $40 yearly A/O, minus the $25 to MAFWDA) towards it...we could use that
$15 in other places...like the Noob Run. I consider this money well spent. Now, take advantage and use
some of the things we get with membership. I'll fill you in more on the exact details ASAP. I know we get
discounts at certain places, etc.

WOOHOO! This is good stuff. I'm glad I'm a part of.

Those Mountain Smith back packs look pretty nice. I may be ordering one of them for myself for Christmas.

Tread Lightly is a great organization. I have been a member for a couple years.

It is up to us, as responsible wheelers, to be the best stewards of God's land that we can possibly be, and to teach & share with others to do the same.

Thanks Pattey. This is a big step forward for the club!!

We got our Tread Lightly stuff today!!!

I am ordering us some of their free materials and some that are extremely inexpensive.
(like 100 hangtags -for your mirror- for $5)

The free materials are One-Page Tips for: Four Wheeling (x100), Geocaching (x100), and
Camping (x100) which will be good to hand out at events like the PA JEEP SHOW.

I also (for $24 for 80 books) ordered 40 each of "Four Wheeling Guidebook" and "Leaving
A Good Impression Guidebook".

So that's 380 items that we can use to promote good wheeling and our commitment to
Tread Lightly....both as an organization and what we do.

Our vinyl banner is huge and will be great hanging from our tent along with our A/O banner
and our ever-present American flag.

I look forward to us all representing Tread Lightly. Soon, I will be posting up the list of items
that are available to YOU for CHEAP. I will also make copies and can mail them to you. It's
got shirts, hats, bags, etc etc....pretty good prices from what I can see.

How about some Tread Lightly stickers for our rigs?

You darn kids think money grows on trees!!!

Just kidding....it's only $18 for 100 vinyl stickers. I'll add them.

Hope your bringing some along on Sat.

I just got the stuff today....even once I order it, it'll be 4-6 weeks!!!!

But you WILL have your large Alpha/Omega sticker on saturday!!!
So will Steven...and were bringing Tom's too.

Was just askin if we were gettin any, Pattey, thats all. Ya don't have to special order them.

I was just yanking your chain.

I have to order ALL of it...the only free stuff is the pamphlets on Offroading, Camping, and Geocaching. I'll get the order out before the beginnning of the year. It'll take 4-6 weeks to get the stuff in.

I'm also going to add an order of 100 kids temporary tattoos. The kids loved getting flags from us at the PA JEEP Show, so we'll have these too.

I'll give you some Cash to offset the cost.


If anyone wishes to donate to the clubs future events just let us know. We are not a charity yet so there is no tax deduction but... it would help alot.

Tread Lightly sent me a disc with their logos on it to use for the website....
I added it to our front page and also on our links page.

It'll only be about $50 for all the T.L. stuff.....so no worries. We need the help
for the NOOB RUN if anything. But I'm working on ways to raise money.

COOL.....i'm actually a member of theirs already, i even have a certificate somewhere my filing system has alot to be desired

I'm trying my best to be organized.....


....and I posted this so my post count wouldn't be 666 any longer!!!

We're on their member page...I found it doing a search.
