I've been asked to post this notice on the Forum. If you're interested in attending, please RSVP as a private message. It's so exciting to have some local support!

We are thrilled to announce the American Pilgrims on the Camino board has approved our first step for forming a local chapter in the Austin/Central Texas area!
The mission of our chapter would be to build a community that provides support to pilgrims, past, present and future and to have fun in the process. We hope to coordinate walks/hikes for members (family and pets invited), hold regular happy hour gatherings, have monthly intro meetings for new (to the Camino) pilgrims, and to set up our own private online group where we can keep each other up to date on Camino plans and local activities. We are looking forward to hearing what you’d like too!
The first step toward establishing a chapter is to have two exploratory meetings to confirm there is sufficient interest in our area. We’ve scheduled these meetings at different times of day/days of the week to hopefully make it possible for everyone to attend at least one.
These meetings will give us a chance to meet, chat and learn more about what we’d all like to build together for our local group. If you have friends that have walked the Camino, or have interest, please feel free to invite them too!
Please RSVP in a private message to let us know if you plan to attend (and which meeting) and how many family/friends (if any) you're bringing with you.
We’ll provide snacks and drinks for the exploratory meetings.
Looking forward to meeting you!
Buen Camino!
