NSA Trail Maintenance Recognized by American Hiking Society with $4000 Grant

On April 24, Jon McBride received a call from Ivan Levin of the American Hiking Society, headquartered in Silver Spring, MD confirming that the NSA Trail Maintenance Program will be the recipient of a $4000 grant for the purposes of purchasing new equipment for the use of our volunteers. In addition, a company in Oregon will donate three large camp stoves plus make available at a very low price the purchase of Sun Showers. Ivan complimented the NSA on its application and Newsletter saying it was one of the finest they had received and their board had spent a lot of time looking it over. NSA will receive confirmation of the grant in writing in the next few days and will receive the grant in 3 to 4 weeks.
