The 100-year-old Sierra Club has 3.8 million member and will allows us to continue offer outdoor activities in the same manner as always, with our leader posting hikes and hikers RSVPing for events using Meetup.  We hope you will support us by joining the Sierra Club **[https://www.connecticut.sierraclub.org/  ](https://www.connecticut.sierraclub.org/)** membership is not a requirement (But encouraged) to participate in hikes & events. This change is solely an internal move so we may retain the ability to post and lead hikes consistent with what we currently do. The CT Sierra Club is a strong organization with a mission to protect the resources of CT, from the Sound to the forest uplands and the flora and fauna that occupy these places and the places in between. They will help us with all the support that our hikers/event participants don’t see but enable us to operate effectively. (Training, Liability protection for our leaders, etc.)    **The CT Chapter is regulated by and subject to the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Sierra Club, Inc., and organized under Section (501) c (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.**
