Congratulations to our 2020 FAFL winners!


Please join us in thanking our MCMBA FAFL winners for 2020! 

This was a year like no other. A quiet desperation for outside recreation in our communities meant that parks were busier than ever, filled with new users discovering and falling in love with the trails that we help maintain and sometimes take for granted.

The need for social distancing meant that most of our trail work this year happened as individual efforts, or in occasional small groups. Despite those constraints, we had a very robust year of volunteerism, with 167 people reporting 4200 hours of helping with chapter trails. The Bureau of Labor calculates that as $105,000 of value donated to our local parks. Thanks to all!

The following 71 volunteers went above and beyond and reported enough time to qualify for our annual FAFL thank you gift. Each of these volunteers reported at least 10 hours of boots on the ground trailwork or at least 30 hours of time on other chapter activities. This year, the average FAFL winner volunteered 43 hours working on the trails!

For a small donation, a bridge plank was inscribed with the donors name. Today, every rider at Lakeshore still rides over…
