Car Pooling

Mokuyokai arranges car-pooling on a first come, first serve basis. For example, if someone RSVPs and can drive 3 people, the first three people who signed up get a lift.

Drivers are usually in short supply so drivers are appreciated.

RSVP to hike@mokuyokai.bc.ca by Thursday, August 22nd. Please avoid last minute cancellations, because that causes car-pooling issues. RSVP early to ensure a spot!
