Happy February! This month we are highlighting two fantastic leaders who have helped make the club what it is today. Thank you Liam and Alex for all your hard work!

Name: Liam O’Connor
Years involved in Hoofers Outing Club? 1 year
How has Hoofers Outing Club impacted you? Through Hoofer’s, I’ve been lucky to meet so many cool and kind people! I’ve made great friends, reconnected with my passion for exploring the outdoors, and learned so much from others.
Fun Fact! My favorite outdoor activity is sea kayaking.

Name: Alexander Kiner
Years involved in Hoofers Outing Club? 4 years
Advice for other leaders: Be daring! If there’s a trip you want to see happen, make it happen. Western Dawn wouldn’t have happened if I wrote off either road trips or winter break trips as impossible.
Fun Fact! According to my trip reports, I have committed 38 federal crimes while on Hoofers trip. [note to future employers: this is a joke!]

We have three new WFR’s in the Hoofers house! After an online class and week on hands on training, Ana Gracia, Tony, and Kiersten are officially Wilderness First Responder certified. Congratulations to these Hoofers!

If you are interested in getting WFR or WFA certified you can find more information at https://www.hoofers.org/wfa-wfr-cpr and watch out for news on available classes!
