Our April membership meeting was at Carrabba's in Green Hills. We held our annual election for officers and board members. Congratulations to the new officers and board members who will begin their terms May 1st.

We had gorgeous weather for our hike of the Great Stone Door Loop and Ranger Falls. We have more outdoor adventures planned for the coming months so keep an eye on our calendar!

Our trip to Chamonix and extension to Lyon were a rousing success! Great snow, great weather and great side trips. We've announced our trip destinations for next season so keep following us for the latest information about them. We'll begin trip sign-ups in July.

At our March 4th meeting we got updates on the just-completed Copper Mountain trip and we celebrated the birthday of Joe, our president. Be sure to join us next month!

Our Copper trip was a rousing success! We had loads of sunshine the entire week. Read the trip report on our Copper Trip Page and see the Photo Gallery for more pictures.

We had a terrific turnout for our February meeting at Brewhouse South in Franklin. It was great to hear stories from the Jackson Hole and Big Sky trips and hear about plans for Copper Mountain and Chamonix. Missed this meeting? Be sure to join us in March!

We had a wonderful week at Big Sky. Days of sun and days of snow kept us busy on the slopes. Some folks took a day off to spend at Yellowstone. See more photos in the Photo Gallery!

Our Jackson Hole trip is complete and have a look in our Photo Gallery to see how much fun our members had. Jackson racked up over 90" of snow before we even arrived so conditions have been fantastic. You can join us next year!

We started off the new year with a hike at Radnor Lake where we not only saw the lake but a couple of deer who were out for spot of breakfast.

We had a Thirsty Thursday gathering on December 19th, our final indoor social event of 2024! Thanks to Mimi and the Socials committee for organizing so many events this year and filling up the first quarter of 2025 with lots of items for our calendars!

Thanks to those who came out to Ludlow & Prime in Berry Farms for our December membership meeting. It was good to hear how folks spent Thanksgiving, their plans for Christmas and how excitement is building for our ski trips. Those going to Jackson Hole will miss our next meeting!

We enjoyed our final Weekend Starts on Wednesday of 2024 in November at Sam's Place in Belle Meade. It was good to see so many folks before the holidays and learn about their plans not only for Thanksgiving but for our ski trips, which are in less than two months!

Our Bourbon Tasting event was a hit! Thanks to Cool Springs Wine & Spirits for hosting us and teaching us how to refine our palates!
