President's Message
April 2025 President's Message:
Dear CCHC: I hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying the longer days of daylight and sunshine. April 2 is the most important day this month for the Club as we gather at Boudin's in San Francisco for our Annual Spring Luncheon. I believe that there will be some fifty members in attendance to enjoy each other's company, the food, and the spectacular view. Although some of you may think that the cost is more than you may want to pay for the luncheon, keep in mind that since the pandemic prices have indeed risen. However, thanks to many of you who have made generous contributions to the Social Committee, the cost has been reduced most favorably. Again, I cannot thank Lucy enough for the great job she does coordinating these events. I also want to extend my thanks to Fran Ternus, who recently resigned from the Board. She was a valuable Board Director with insightful comments and a positive attitude. Of course, that means that we need to fill the position. Please let me know if you would be interested in joining the Board. The Club, as I have emphasized before, only exists as long as there are members who volunteer to sustain the organization. There are many excellent hikes scheduled for the 2nd quarter, so take a look to see when you will want to join your fellow hikers for an enjoyable Thursday or Sunday hike. I look forward to seeing you on a hike or perhaps at the luncheon. Take care and stay well, Stew. ************************************ CCHC Board of Directors

Dear Members
A huge thank you to all the wonderful CCHC members who gave a donation to conservation with their membership. We couldn’t do as much as we do without you. Also, remember you can give to conservation anytime during the year. The more we have, the more we can give away. - Beryl Vonderheid for the Conservation Committee |
