2022 VOLUNTEER APPRICATION EVENT

DATE: THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 15 TIME: 5:30–7:30 P.M.

It has been a while since we have gathered solely to socialize. And what better way to restart this practice than by honoring the many volunteers who make the Mazamas possible.

Join us in the graciously donated space provided by Markowitz Herbold in downtown Portland at 1455 SW Broadway. There will be beer, wine, nonalcoholic drinks, and light hors d’oeuvres.

We are so excited to celebrate our volunteers, from those who tend to our grounds at the MMC to those who teach our climbers, hikers, skiers, and canyoneers to recreate responsibly outdoors. There will be awards and a raffle with prizes.

Please be sure and register for this event so we can gauge how much food we’ll need, and make plans to carpool. Maybe meet at the MMC and head downtown, where there are several nearby parking garages including one in the Markowitz Herbold building, and offstreet parking.

We are looking forward to a fantastic evening to celebrate our volunteers!

STREET RAMBLES

Going on a Street Ramble is one of the best ways to get an introduction to the Mazama hiking program. Meet other hikers and plan a weekend trip, maintain your fitness after work, and see some hidden parts of Portland you might never get to see otherwise. Interested in joining us? All you need to do is show up, check in, pay, and be ready to go at 6 p.m. We'll see you there!

We operate Tuesday and Thursday night Street Rambles year-round from REI in the Pearl District (NW Portland).
