Welcome to 2016! I hope everyone had a chance to earn the souvenir as a great welcome to the New Year. Thank you for all the support as we embark on a new adventure. I’m looking forward to an exciting year of caching with my fellow board members, Christina (NutmegBrownie), Mike (CacheClown76), Josh (Hooclass2002) and Chris (Awesnap).

If you have the time, we’d love to see you at the Thanks! Event tomorrow evening (January 5) where we will be saying thanks to last year’s officers and volunteers. This is also a great opportunity to meet some of the new board members as several of them will be there as well. And mark your calendars for the morning of February 20 for the Winter Event, we’ll get the cache page published soon with more information.

We look forward to introducing quarterly CITOs this year as well as some NoVAGO sponsored workshops. We aim to get dates with more information out soon and will be asking for volunteers to help along the way.

We’re also looking at adjusting NoVAGO’s 501(c) non-profit status in an effort to get more outside donations for the organization and increase our ability to offer more throughout the organization and our communities.

If you would like to send any questions, thoughts or ideas to the board, you can e-mail 2016officers@novago.org to get your e-mail to all the NoVAGO officers at once.

See you on the trails,
Katie (K8Ydd)
