We have run one publications workshop and plan to do repeat it on an irregular basis. The Trail Conference is currently working on preparing a new edition of the New York Walk Book. The Publications Marketing Subcommittee needs people to interact with stores or distributors about the Trail Conference's publications. These visits are not cold sales calls, but are ways to increase the Trail Conference's visibility and service. Visiting the store includes making sure that they have enough service and giving them Trail Walkers to distribute.
Help is needed to work in small groups to manage projects, aspects of production and marketing.
For example, decisions need to be made on which photographs to use. Any non-profit organization requires funding. Volunteers interested or knowledgeable in raising funds for trail protection are always welcome. In September 1999, outgoing president Neil Zimmerman was honored at a banquet through the donations of time, effort, and money of many members. The Trail Conference had 10,000 individual member and 85 clubs.
