welcome to the *new* bambinobrigade.com!

as many of you know, bambino brigade has been planning a new *web* revamp! this is an amazing thing that will open our community up to be in contact with one another more easily! when you visit www.bambinobrigade.com things will look very different. we now have forums that any registered user (that must be approved first) can post in, profiles to get to know one another better, running newsletters, support for non-hiking activities, and a totally new vibe all together.

to get into this new site (and to remain connected with the brigade) there are a few things you will have to do.

1. go to www.bambinobrigade.com
2. sign up as a new user. please use some variation of your name so people know who you are. for example, if your name is Sara Smith you could choose SaraS, Sara_Smith, etc.
3. include any information you would like people in the community to know about you. this is secure and will not be public. only approved registered users can see this information.
4. get linked up with the forums you want to be notified on.

this is a new venture for all of us, so there may be some issues. feel free to ask any questions you may have!

A FEW REMINDERS:
* we have window clings for sale for $5. please help support our group and show your love of the brigade!

radnor lake, granny white entrance

multiple hiking options - from around 2 miles up to 5 miles. whatever your desire, most likely we will have someone going that hike.

9:00 AM-10:30 AM - kids' nature walk
radnor lake, granny white entrance

this is a low-key hike for walking aged children. we have children up to pre-k age down to any early walkers. we walk a short nature walk up to the spill-way and simply play in nature. please join us for some time together, bringing our little ones into nature.

friday, december 10
9:00 AM
- hike
radnor lake, granny white entrance

come join us for a hike with fellowship and exercise. all levels of hiker are welcome. this hike has had many new comers each week and we are so excited about this hike. come out and support, wear your little one, and enjoy this beautifully changing season!

3:30 PM-5:00 PM - kids' nature walk/ romping around :)
ellington agricultural center

park at the top of the hill. if you come in the main entrance off hogan road, go up the hill to the right and find parking anywhere around the grounds. we meet that the deck with picnic tables. this time has become a time for pure romping around. we may hike some, we may see the horses, or the kids may just roll down one of the many large hills on the grounds. whatever the choice, it has been a beautifully fun end to a wonderful bambino brigade week!

happy hiking!
