Montour Trail-Letter

Volume 12, Issue 6

November/December, 2001

On Saturday, Sept. 22, MTC held a training workshop at our offices in Bridgeville. Attended by new board members as well as some other interested Trail members, the workshop gave insight into the mission, organization, and ongoing challenges of the Montour Trail. Organized by Dick Quasey and Ned Williams, the not-quite-daylong workshop featured a presentation by engineer Dave Wright on trail development status, and a session by treasurer Judy Thompson on MTC funding history and financial status. A big highlight was a look back at the beginnings of the Montour Trail Council, as particularly well told by former president Stan Sattinger.

After a delicious lunch, generously provided by Judy Thompson, a fruitful discussion of issues and challenges along the trail was led by board member Paul McKeown. President Peter Kohnke, who had earlier opened the day with an introduction to the MTC as an organization, wrapped it up with a look at MTC's goals and future activities. An open discussion of these activities was engaged in by all.
