Latest PATC Newsletter – The Potomac Appalachian

The September 2023 issue is available in PDF format.  



Attention PA Readers! Please take a moment to fill out our Potomac Appalachian Reader Survey.  PATC will be making some changes to the newsletter and    we value your opinions. We want to know what you like, dislike, and what you'd like to see in future issues of the PA. Thank you in advance for your     contributions!

PATC's Newsletter - The Potomac Appalachian, or the "PA", as it is known inside the club, is assembled every month by a staff of club volunteers. The   newsletter staff has a Chief Editor, Features Editor, and Forecast Editor (responsible for assembling the club's monthly list of activities), as well as a host of   writers, proofreaders, and photographers. The newsletter is mailed to the PATC membership and other trail clubs across the country every month, and is   distributed in retail stores and other public venues. If you would like to help out in any of these roles, please email the editor.

 The newsletter includes club business, current activities, scheduled activities, and feature articles (both current and historical). If there's something of note   going on in the club, you'll find it in the PA.

 PATC encourages our members to help us save on printing and postage costs by opting to read the newsletter online. To choose online delivery and         discontinue delivery of the paper copy of your newsletter, please email us to let us know your preference. If you change your mind, you can always email us   to go back to getting the paper copy.

 Past issues of the newsletter can be viewed on-line. Click Here for the list. Or Click Here for annual indexes.
