The Catskill Mountain Club (CMC), creator and maintainer of the Bramley Mountain hiking trail, will celebrate its 20th anniversary at its annual dinner at Bluestone in Delhi Saturday, Sept. 28 at 6 p.m., with a cocktail party from 4 - 6 p.m. Members also hope to celebrate the construction of the Bramley Mountain Fire Tower. Working on the final requirements is being done and expect to be breaking ground in the next couple of weeks.
The CMC is a sister organization to Friends of Bramley Mountain Fire Tower and has been fully involved in the efforts to rebuild the fire tower. The CMC has built many very popular hiking trails in our area in addition to the Bramley Mountain Trail, and leads free recreational events like hikes, paddles and bike rides.
The speaker at this year’s dinner is Paul Rush, the deputy commissioner of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The DEP owns the land encompassing the tower site, and they have been extremely helpful partners on the project. Rush has been instrumental in opening up DEP land for recreational purposes.
The dinner will feature a cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres from 4 - 6 p.m. a dinner, served at 6 p.m. with three choices of entrees and a silent auction with an array of desirable items. Tickets are $60. To register and purchase ticket: lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/r9k9xkx
