| ... is an active and popular part of the Austin Sierra Club. Outings leaders take members on a variety of outings. The point of the program is, as John Muir said, to get people out into nature and to "let the trees speak for themselves." Check out the current events on the Outings page. Outings leaders must attend leadership training courses (taught by the local leadership) and qualify in First Aid and CPR. If you would like to be a part of this program, contact Becky at
and plan to attend the next monthly Outings meeting (see the Meetings Listings on the Officers and Chairs page). |

| Our newsletter editor, Judith, has asked if anyone with spare pictures from Sierra Club outings/events, would submit them to her for possible publication in our monthly newsletter, the Austin Sierran.
Submitted photos should include a description of the activity and the name of the photographer. The photos should be spares and not something you need back. We'd like to have a "photos archive" for future newsletters. Mail to: J Clarkson, 1909 Hether St, Austin, TX 78704.
Photos do not necessarily have to be of outings either. For example, when we did the Lake Travis litter cleanup, there was a photo showing a pallet load of car batteries recovered from the lake. How frightening!
Also, members do a great job writing columns for our newsletter. We always need to have articles, letters to the editor, etc. from any of our members. Send them to Judith in electronic format (word processor or text) at:
