North Shore Hikers Needs a News Editor NOW!

About the website, Club news,

We have been without a regular News Editor for a few years.  Now is the time for a change.  I invite you to volunteer for this important job.

The News Editor puts together the Raven, our semi-monthly newsletter, and other timely communications to help keep our members informed, entertained and inspired!

The Editor gathers the content for the Raven and other communications from the Executive Committee, club members and those involved in the club’s various activities, events and exploits.

No particular technical expertise is needed.  We can teach you what you need to know to post communications in one short session.

Contact me either to volunteer outright or to find out more!  My email address is:
