Series 04 - Let's Go Newsletter

Series 04 Record Series Name: CMC “Let’s Go” and Hiking Schedule Publications
Physical Location: Box 4
Record Series Value (High, Medium, Low): Estimated as High
Record Series Description: From the 1930’s to the present day, CMC regularly produced publications to keep its membership informed about its activities. These included a Let’s Go publication and a Hiking Schedule publication. Let’s Go informed users of the latest information about the Club. The Hiking Schedule listed the scheduled outings of CMC. During much of CMC’s history these publication were issued quarterly. In 1970??, Let’s Go and the Hiking Schedule were merged into one document. The merged publication continues today and is issued quarterly to the membership via mailing.
Note: As Club Historian, Jerome Dykeman took on the task of organizing CMC records in the 1950s and 1960s. The CMC Let’s Go and Hiking Schedules publications were one of the important collections he organized. These records were placed in bound volumes and in the 1960s, donated to the Pack Library in Buncombe County, North Carolina. In 1999 and 2000, Club Historian, Pete Steurer continued Jerome’s work and acquired from long time club member Elizabeth Parker all Let’s Go and Hiking Schedules from 1960?? to 2000. These were organized and donated to Pack Library in 2001, and CMC donated $100 to the library to bind the volumes. These two collections are very complete and are currently located in the Pack Library, The North Carolina Reference Section. Summary of records:
Let’s Go and Hiking Schedules: Due to the importance of the regular information available in these publications and the occasional breaks in the CMC history due to lost records, all Let’s Go and Hiking Schedules found in the CMC History Collection were retained for the UNCA collection. Even though there are missing issues in the UNCA collection and there is duplication with the Pack Library collection, these publications are considered of extreme importance to the CMC historical record and duplication with Pack Library is considered justified.
