Interested in becoming an outings leader for the Club?

Angeles Chapter is home to one of the largest outings programs on the planet - thousands of trips ranging from beach barbecues to mountaineering expeditions.

You can take the first step toward becoming a leader by attending a class offered by the Chapter Leadership Training Committee on Saturday, April 4. The class, usually taught in Los Angeles, will take place this time in Orange County.

The class covers all the basics of leadership. Experienced leaders will tell you how to plan a trip, prevent problems on the trail and make sure that everyone - including you - has a great time. They'll also explain good conservation and safety practices. And they'll give you tips for getting your O rating quickly and then, if you choose, pursuing more advanced ratings.

The all-day class at the Costa Mesa Community Center costs $25. The application is online at angeles.sierraclub.org/ltc.

Mail the application and check, payable to Sierra Club, to Steve Botan, LTC Registrar, 18816 Thornwood Circle, Huntington Beach 92646. You also can reach Botan by phone (714-963-0151) or e-mail (sbotan@pacbell.net).

Applications and checks are due March 20.

Scholarships are available for those in financial need. Apply to LTC Chair Tina Bowman (tina@bowmandesigngroup.com).
