Hike Leader: Julie - I’ll be driving a White Mitsubushi Lancer and wearing EYCZ merch or leader badge.
- Carpooling is discouraged, if you are, you should treat the car as an inside space, and wear a mask.
- Most importantly - PLEASE BE PATIENT! Volunteer leaders may take time to put up walks, as they have their own lives to catch up on. They also may need time to get comfortable with larger numbers. Many leaders and participants may feel anxious about being in groups again. Do not pressure any leaders to increase walk capacity.
