Hello all - We are starting to get a number of applications in for the
new NC specialty tag that will offer a permanent source of funding for
the portions of the AT that run through North Carolina. However, we
have received less than 100 applications so far, and we HAVE to have a
minimum of 300 people sign up before January 15, 2004!!! There is a
great informational article on the ATC's web site, along with a link to
the 1-page application form. For all AT-L'rs who live in NC, or know
folks who live in NC, this is a personal plea from me to both consider
buying a tag yourself, and to get the word out to any and all friends,
stores, scout troops, hiking groups, other civic-minded souls, etc.
Please help us all get the minimum 300 applications in before 1/15/04!
One thing to remember is that once we get 300 applications in, this tag
becomes a permanent source of funding for the AT!! We still are in the
process of finalizing the design - the latest draft design can be found at:

Thanks so much for your consideration and help! :)
