Becoming a Registered
46er/Dues Payment
Updated May 9, 2010
Becoming a Registered 46er – The Process:
As
soon as a climber thinks he/she wants to become a Forty-Sixer
they should write to us,
When
the climber’s letter is received a file is opened for the climber. The climber is assigned a correspondent. The original letter is placed in the
climber’s file and a copy is sent to the assigned correspondent. The correspondent will send a personal reply
along with some useful information. The
correspondent will act as a mentor in the tradition of Grace Hudowalski and a dialog is started.
Climbers
should write to their correspondent periodically and report their climbs.
Because of the number of climbers we correspond with we ask that letters be
limited to every few climbs so we can “keep up” with our correspondence.
When
the correspondent feels their climber is nearing
completion of climbing the Forty-Six peaks a questionnaire and official list of
mountains will be sent to the climber.
Upon completion of climbing all Forty-Six peaks the questionnaire and
official mountain list must be filled out completely and accurately and returned
to the Office of the Historian. The
climber’s name as it is appears on the questionnaire will be printed on the
certificate of accomplishment. After the
questionnaire and mountain list is returned the climber is officially recorded
as an Adirondack Forty-Sixer and their correspondent
will send the climber a letter of congratulations along with a letter from The
Historian, a dues notice and merchandise order forms.
All questionnaires and
mountain lists MUST be received in the Office of
the Historian by January 31
in order to obtain a climbing number for the previous year(s). Questions? Contact the Historian’s Office, PO Box
9046, Schenectady, NY 12309-9046 or email Tony Solomon at: tsolomon@nycap.rr.com .
The office will assign climbing numbers around February 1. Numbers are assigned in the order of finish
for climbs completed by December 31.
Anyone sending in paperwork after the January 31 deadline will have to
wait for the following year to obtain a number.
About mid February the new Forty-Sixers will
receive a letter with their assigned number, asking for any corrections of name
and address and giving the date and place of the Forty-Sixer
Spring meeting where certificates of accomplishment will be presented. The
letter should be expected in the middle of February. For those not able to attend, certificates
will be mailed. The meeting is usually
held at the
Sometime
in the early spring a newsletter will be sent out containing the exact details
of the Spring Meeting. Included in the
letter is a reservation form for the dinner.
The dinner is usually around $24.00 per
person.
