Dallas Sierra Club Calendar

The Dallas Sierra Club needs Outings Leaders. We've scheduled Outings Leader Training 101 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, December 1. This is the class every Sierra Club Outings Leader takes every four years to get and maintain certification. Other leader requirements are (1) a first aid class appropriate for the type of outings a leader intends, (2) participation in some Dallas Sierra Club outings and (3) planning and leading an outing accompanied by another leader. We've arranged a first aid class for day hike leaders on the afternoon of December 2. For leaders who would like to lead overnight trips, we will schedule a sequel class (OLT 201) and require Wilderness First Aid training instead of the basic first aid class for day hike leaders. Inquiries are invited and encouraged.  Coordinator: Liz Wheelan Send Email 214-368-2306

We've arranged this basic first aid and CPR class for new day hike leaders who don't require Wilderness First Aid training. Time is 1:00 to approximately 4:30. Reservations are required. Inquiries are invited.  Coordinator: Liz Wheelan Send Email 214-368-2306

Walk and talk while helping to pick up trash and recyclables at the Sierra Club`s adopted section of White Rock Lake Park. Meet at 8:15 AM at the Love of the Lake office on the Northeast corner of Garland Rd. and Buckner Blvd. Look for a crowd of people drinking free juice and coffee. Gloves, trash bags, etc. provided. Our area includes one of the wonderful prairie restoration areas, so there are always birds and wildflowers to enjoy. The lake and your karma will thank you. Brunch afterwards. Trip rated: Easy.

Our annual Holiday Party will be held at El Fenix Restaurant at 255 Casa Linda Plaza.  We'll party on Sunday, December 9 from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm. Here is a Google map.

Club members and guests will share the holiday spirit, some great Mexican food, and the company of others at this annual event. Join us for some camaraderie, raffle prizes, and perhaps some surprise speakers, you never know. We'll celebrate some of our outstanding volunteers and have plenty of time to mingle. There's bound to be talk about issues of the day -- air, water, fracking, coal, nuclear, whatever strikes your green fancy. The entire menu will be available so you can order whatever you want to eat or drink, including liquid spirits. We'll provide a free round of margaritas.  Invite your family and friends.  So come on out for a great party, low price, no clean up, and lots of like minded people. What could be better? See you there, and bring your appetite. Happy Holidays!!
