Sierra Club Bulletin, 



party to a number that can be conveniently and satis- 

 factorily handled and provided for will doubtless make 

 this year's Outing the most successful that has been 

 undertaken. 



The local walks that have been recently inaugurated 

 by the Club have proved to be a great success, and will 

 tend to build up and strengthen that phase of the Club's 

 life. Seven all-day walks have already been taken to 

 points of interest in Marin and Alameda counties, and 

 have had an average attendance of twenty-five persons. 

 The excursion to Mt. Diablo, taken May 28-30th, proved 

 to be most delightful. Twenty-eight members of the 

 Club spent the night of the 29th on the very summit of 

 the mountain and witnessed a most glorious sunset and 

 sunrise, and were also fortunate in having a full moon 

 to add to the rare scenic effects. Since Admission Day, 

 September 9th, will fall on a Friday this year, it is pro- 

 posed to take a three-days' excursion, September 9-1 ith, 

 to the Big Basin Redwoods in Santa Cruz County this 

 fall. The local walks will be discontinued after the middle 

 of June until September 9th, on account of the High 

 Sierra Outing and the vacation period which will inter- 

 vene. 



It is proposed to have a Club pin, which can be made 

 of either oxidized silver or gold from a die which will 

 be a copy of the Club seal, only much reduced in size. 

 Since the price of such pin can be greatly reduced if a 

 sufficient number apply for the same, it is requested that 

 any member who contemplates purchasing one, provided 

 the cost of the same in silver does not exceed one dollar, 

 send his name to the Secretary. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Wm. E. Colby, 

 Secretary of the Sierra Club.
