Intern Appreciation Day

Leave No Trace is often blessed with talented individuals who graciously volunteer their skills and time to the Center. Take, for example, one Alicia Brossart. A native of the 'Roughrider State' (who knew that was North Dakota's nickname?), Alicia is currently a senior at University of North Dakota studying Marketing and Non-Profit Management. She's become a bit of an all-star around here, assisting in nearly every sector of Leave No Trace since June.

As a 'midterm' thank you for all of Alicia's hard work, we celebrated 'Intern Appreciation Day.' The whole staff headed Boulder Rock Club, a Leave No Trace Outfitter/Guide Parther, for a little indoor climbing.

It was a great afternoon (I even managed to schlep myself up a couple of routes - as a non-climber with a significant fear of heights, I'd call this a major success) and a fantastic way to show Alicia some props. So, thank you, Alicia, for your tireless efforts at the Center!
