The Membership challenge was not won by the Laurentian Chapter in 2022, however, the number of members of the Laurentian chapter increased from 353 members in January 2022 to 357 in February 2023. The number of households in the Laurentian Chapter increased from 226 households in January 2022 to 232 households in February 2023. The chapter has 318 voting members.

I wish to extend a sincere thank you to the chapter member who made efforts to spread the word about ADK and encouraged others to join. For more than 100 years ADK has been a cornerstone in protecting the wilderness, providing educational opportunities, and promoting the enjoyment of this pristine area of the USA where we are fortunate to reside. The ADK is the NONPROFIT Voice of the Adirondack Park and members of ADK are important in providing support with efforts to protect this fragile resource.

I encourage you to begin now to plan the outings and fun waiting for you this summer--from the Loony Loop challenge to climbing one of the many mountains, large and small.Families, please pick up the book “Kids on the Trail” (written by members of the Laurentian Chapter). The ADK has opportunities for teens to learn and explore while adventuring in the park.

Hiking, cycling, paddling, and camping are available for experts and first-timers. Please remember that the chapter has members of the famous 46ers as well as families who introduced their children to outdoor activities while carrying them in carriers. Do not hesitate to ask for information and advice on destinations in the Adirondacks. If you have any questions about the chapter or upcoming events please contact me: Mary Mackinnon, Vice-Chair, Membership, membership@adklaurentian.org.
