Farmington Valley Trails Council Annual Meeting

The not-for-profit Farmington Valley Trails Council will hold its Annual Meeting on Friday, November 16th, at 7:00 pm. It will be held at the Avon Senior Center at 635 West Avon Road, (the Sycamore Recreation Area) Avon, CT 06001. Admission is free, and refreshments will be served. The program will consist of FVTC President Bruce Donald giving the year-end business report and updates on trail construction and other initiatives and news. Mr. Donald and the Officers and Directors will take any questions from the public.


Following the business portion of the program we are delighted to present a talk by long-time members MaryEllen and Rick Thibodeau on their 325-mile bicycle trip from Pittsburgh, PA to Washington, DC.  Five years ago they made an informative and entertaining presentation at the Annual Meeting about their bike trip across America in celebration of their 35th wedding anniversary, and we are pleased to have them back.  Their trip featured sojourns on the picturesque Great Allegheny Passage and the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath.
