Short Description of Activity
Currently members are meeting informally to go for walks, and volunteering with area orgs.to do Spring trash pick-ups. flower planting, etc… We hope to begin our summer activities soon, but Mother Nature may have other plans! Mondays we will be bike riding in Teton Valley or Jackson Hole. Wednesdays we will be hiking in Idaho or Wyoming. During July and August we have two hiking groups, to keep our numbers manageable.
Reflection/Evaluation
Many women join the WHALES just to hike and/or bike with us. Leaders use our time together to talk about environmental issues, our Great Old Broads affiliation and the values of membership. We hope to continue to have large turnouts for our hikes and bike ride each week. Women new to our area are quickly assimilated because of these recreational opportunities, and lasting friendships are made — and new connections to valley non-profits are too.
