Leki USA & Backpacker Magazine Sponsor EI
This spring, Backpacker Magazine kicked off a new program - Get Out More! Or GOM! A road team was assembled and outdoor sponsors were selected. Each sponsor supported a different non-profit organization. The idea of "getting outside more" is not a new idea for Expedition Inspiration. Thank you Leki USA for selecting EI as your non-profit of choice. Leki USA, a manufacturer of ski and trekking poles has been a sponsor of EI since 1995. They provided custom adjustable poles for the Aconcagua Team and have been with EI every step of the way! Since the road team geared up, they have driven more than 19,000 miles, visited more than 26 states and made presentations to more than 33 outdoor retailers. Their mission - to challenge and encourage everyone they meet along the way to Get Out More! The team stopped at trailheads, retailers, consumer events and colleges with their GOM message. The team had lots of important tips, from training to the best backpacking spots, state-by-state. For complete details check out the Backpacker website: www.backpacker.com and click on GOM. Also visit the Leki USA website to view their great line of ski poles: www.leki.com. |
 Cedar Mountain Winery Hosts Retirement Party Linda Ault celebrated her retirement from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory at a party hosted by Cedar Mountain Winery. Instead of gifts, Linda asked that donations be made to Expedition Inspiration! Linda's "retirement" is somewhat short lived - she and her husband Earl, as owners of Cedar Mountain Winery are busy making wine. Five years ago the Aults hosted a silent auction and dinner for their friend and EI team member Dana Isherwood. Thank you Linda and Earl for your continued support. Check out their website www.wines.com/cedarmountain or drop in for a visit. |
