Fun
Members attend social events, twice yearly camp outs and enjoy year-round recreational activities
ranging from hikes, canoe adventures, camp-outs,
biking, parades and more. |
Here's a
quote from a new member:
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful story
about the Mt. Baker Marathon. I was
sitting in the balcony and recognized you
(Marjan Eicher, former President and Board
Member), but you were busy talking with someone and I did not
want to interrupt when I went down. Now I
want to become a member of the Club and support
your organization and hopefully do some of the
easy hikes.
--- Pam Borso, Custer Resident. |

Letter
From Whatcom Museum
Praises Mount Baker Club
Richard Vanderway, Curator of Education at the
Whatcom Museum, wrote a letter to Mel Monkelis
thanking the Club for its February 11
presentation at the museum. Portions of the
letter are quoted here:
“Thanks so much to the Mount Baker Club for the
great program on your history and activities
presented at the Museum on Sunday, February 11.
How great that the Mount Baker Club is nearing
its one hundredth anniversary. To think that the
group has stayed active and relevant and vibrant
for such a long period, passing the torch
through generations. Thanks to the Mount Baker
Club for all you’ve done to promote the
environment and the wilderness, to promote
ethical hiking and a love of the outdoors, and
to support the superstructure of outdoor leisure
through trail building, the Winchester Lookout,

Club is a special group filled with outstanding
and admired individuals. Thanks for being an
important part of Whatcom County for almost 100
years.” |
