Come and join in the fun at our Chapter’s second annual Pot-Luck Dinner and enjoy a great presentation that will be exciting, uplifting, inspiring, moving, emotional, and breathtakingly beautiful!

Nancy Sporborg and Pat Piper, two 50+ year old non-hiking women started walking the sidewalks of Keene and ended up climbing the 4,000-footers in New England (all 67). They thought they were just going out for a hike when they climbed their first mountain. They were wrong. They were beginning the journey of a lifetime! Pat and Nancy have reached the summits of over 170 mountains since 2006. They have walked more than 1,000 miles and gained over 300,000 feet in elevation. But it’s not about the numbers. It’s about who they are becoming as they hike. Pat and Nancy are discovering the strong, courageous, determined, joyful women inside themselves. Hiking has shown them the way to their hearts and given them a glimpse of who they really are.

Hear this inspirational and extraordinary story of Nancy Sporborg and Pat Piper’s journey and what they found inside themselves as they hiked over the summits of mountain after mountain through all four seasons. Theirs is not a story of look at us…we did this. It is a story of look inside you…you can do this too.

We all have our own mountains to climb. They may be 4,000 footers in the White Mountains, raising children, caring for aging parents, tackling a tough project at work, or making ends meet in a difficult financial time. This inspirational and uplifting presentation is for anyone who has struggled to accomplish anything.

Open to all – members and non-members. No cost to attend!
