Backpacking in New Zealand, Slide show and Pot Luck Dinner
Wed, December 16, 2009, 6:15pm - Michele Grzenda, AMC leader and naturalist, takes us on her 3-week adventure to the South Island of New Zealand. No spot in the world rivals it for sheer variety of mountain, fjord, river, and beach topography. From the coastal backpack along Abel Tasman National Park to the grand views seen along the Routeburn, Michele's presentation will leave you awe-inspired and ready to jump on a plane for your own kiwi adventure.


In addition to the slideshow, get to know fellow AMCers while enjoying a potluck dinner. Show off your holiday recipes (or your ability to food shop) by bringing a dish to share. Last names A-K bring a beverage and/or dessert; last names L-Z bring a side or main dish. Doors open at 6:15, arrive & eat at 6:30pm, slideshow starts at 7pm. AMC Auditorium, 4 Joy St, Boston, MA. Free admission. Brought to you by the Boston Chapter Slideshow Series.


The first ice climbing classroom session is being held on Dec. 9th -- See this link for details.
