IT’S SORT OF LIKE THE HOLIDAY SEASON
Is it your turn – or maybe your family tradition – to host for the holidays? I’m betting you do all you can to make the special time together both memorable and fun. You hope to make each member of the family and guest feel special, as well as happy they made the journey to join you. With the holiday season all around us, that too, is something we hope to accomplish with building and caring for the RAF.We recognize the unique gift we have been given that you share our passion to protect the backcountry. It is not a gift that is readily sourced, nor can you package it, but together when we accomplish an objective within our mission, we all value opening that gift.
We love the ability to gather with you and see faces we haven’t seen since last time. We like seeing new folks around the holiday table, too, so don’t be shy about inviting a friend, even that strange uncle, cousin, or neighbor. We are a pretty eclectic bunch so they should fit right in.
And, if you’re wondering what the perfect gift might be for the RAF? It’s not hard. We would really want that you find fulfillment and joy as part of the RAF family. A family that really does care deeply about protecting the backcountry, and most importantly, about taking care of one another.
So, at this time of year we wish you well, and know we are looking forward to seeing you in 2025.
Happy Holidays,
John McKenna, RAF ChairmanSubmitted on December 11, 2024
