I'm looking for a LISTSERV host for a Georgia Appalachian Trail Club
mailing list. The GATC has approx. 650 members, roughly 10% of whom are
email users. I've put together an email list that I update & distribute
manually, and I'd like to automate things.
Here is some info about the club:
The Georgia Appalachian Trail Club, Inc. is a voluntary association of
individuals who, because of their love of our wilderness areas, have
assumed responsibility for maintenance of the Appalachian Trail in
Georgia.
The Trail, one of the first two National Scenic Trails, is a footpath
over 2,100 miles long through the wilderness, following a skyline
route over the Appalachians from Springer Mountain in Georgia to
Katahdin in Maine.
To the Indians who once inhabited this wild and beautiful region, the
word Appalachian meant "endless." So it is that the Appalachian
Trail is, for all practical purposes, an endless footpath winding
through mountain regions with a great variety of plants and animal
life, climate, and geographic features.
?Remote for detachment, narrow for chosen company, winding for
leisure, lonely for contemplation, it beckons not merely north and
south, but upward to the body, mind, and soul of man.?
Harold Allen
GATC Purpose
The purpose of this organization shall be to provide for the
protection, management and maintenance of the Appalachian National
Scenic Trail, associated side trails, and designated trails primarily
within the state of Georgia; to bring together persons interested in
hiking and camping and to conduct outings for their recreation and
enjoyment; to foster in its members and in the general public an
appreciation of the outdoors; to teach and encourage public
observation of conservation ethics; to collect and publish information
concerning regions of interests to hikers in Georgia; to encourage the
preservation of wilderness areas; to provide such advice and
assistance as may be requested by the Appalachian Trail Conference,
Inc; and to encourage and assist the national and state governments in
preservation and conservation of our forest and natural resources.
I don't normally follow these discussion groups; please respond via
private email if you can help. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Brian Jernigan
