HIKES C D GO •
Humphrey’s Peak Hike
C D G O • 5th Annual “Hotter than Heck” Hike & Dinner
FRI – SAT, SEPT 11 – 12, 6:30 AM
Join us as we hike Humphrey’s Peak this September. All the details, including the final date of the hike, will be available by July 15. This is a 10-mile ADVANCED hike and will take 4 to 6 hours depending on your pace. You must be able to hike to the saddle (false summit) in two hours in order to go to the top. We will carpool up to Flagstaff on Friday afternoon, have dinner together, and stay at a hotel near downtown Flagstaff. We’ll leave for the trailhead by 7 am on Saturday morning so we can begin hiking by 8 am. After the hike we’ll gather for lunch before we head back to the Valley. Contact Shelly McGann at smcgann@dmbclubs.com or 480.624.9125 to get all the details.
FRI, AUG 14, 5:15 PM
Three- to four-mile intermediate to ADVANCED Sunset Trail hike. Yes, it will be hot. Yes, it’s a little crazy to be hiking when it’s over 110 degrees. But believe it or not this hike is almost 100 percent in the shade and we hiked it last year when it was 116 degrees, and members were amazed they didn’t get hot! Meet at 5:15 pm at the trailhead (145th Street & Via Linda). We will hike until 6:15 pm and if we’re not to the top we will turn around and head back so we’re done by dark. We’ll head to the Blue Adobe restaurant afterwards (Via Linda & Frank Lloyd Wright). Bring a change of clothes. sign up: For more information contact Shelly McGann at 480.624.9125 or smcgann@dmbclubs.com.

WE HEAR YOU. At the Village we are dedicated to developing lasting relationships with members and want to make sure we are aware of member concerns. Each Village member will receive an online survey four times a year. It is important that we check in with members many times throughout the year to make sure nothing has happened that may diminish The Village experience. Some suggest ions may take longer to implement or may not be possible, so please be patient if we haven’t completely solved an issue from the last time you completed a survey. Throughout this process we have been able to meet more members on a personal level and hopefully improved the overall experience at our clubs. So far this year we: • Expanded our offering of evening classes • Provide coffee all day instead of just in the morning • Increased our family and kids programs So please keep the feedback coming through our quarterly survey and our website, or stop by next time you are at the club and let us know how we are doing. Thanks again and we look forward to hearing from you.
