Mark your calendars for July 22nd. Bring your lunch, a lawn chair (or two if you have them) and a beverage of choice (no alcohol please).

August 26th, Patti Lefkos
Great Himalaya Trail

"My talk will take club members through the joys, challenges and adventures my husband and I experienced during our 75 day trek covering 800 km on Nepal's Great Himalaya Trail at the age of 77 in 2023 and outline our plans for our next trek this fall."

Following a rewarding career in education as a teacher, principal and advocate for inner city children in the Vancouver School Board, in 2006 Patti attended the post-graduate Journalism certificate program at Langara College.

She holds a BA in French and Psychology from the University of Toronto, a Master of Environmental Education from Simon Fraser University and a post-graduate certificate in Wilderness Leadership from Capilano University.

Since beginning as a freelance writer in 2007 her more than 200 published articles have appeared most notably in the Globe and Mail, Maclean's, The San Francisco Chronicle, Travelife.ca and Elevation Outdoors.

Patti will have books for sale at the cost of $25.
NEPAL ONE DAY AT A TIME One woman's quest to teach, trek and build a school in the remote Himalaya.
