Each Spring SaddleBrooke Hiking Club honors a very special member of the Club with the highest distinction given by the Club, Its Trailblazer Award. This award started in 2016, 10 years ago by then President Randy Parks. To date 19 members have received the honor of being named a SBHC “Trailblazer”. The Hiking Club Board at the February meeting voted to name Jeff Love the 20th member to receive this award. The criteria for this award are as follows:

  1. For meritorious service above and beyond simply being a member of the Hiking Club
  2. For performing duties greater than expected, and
  3. For exhibiting leadership that we all admire

Why Jeff?

Jeff’s dedication to the Club since 2021 has been nothing short of tireless. His contributions include:

  • Served on the Trip Committee from May 2022 to December 2024. During this time, he organized hiking during the Club’s successful trip to Silver City, New Mexico
  • Served on the Board of Directors as Associate Chief Guide April 2022 to April 2023 and as Senior Chief Guide April 2023 to April 2024
  • Served the Club as a guide starting in January 2021 to present
  • Served on the Picnic Committee starting March 2022 to present

Jeff now joins the elite group of 19 previous honorees who have shaped the SBHC into the vibrant club it is today.

Take a Look: The next time you are at the SaddleBrooke HOA One Clubhouse, stop by the Trailblazer plaque located at the foot of the stairs next to the elevator to see Jeff’s name among our club’s finest.

Congratulations, Jeff, and thank you for your admirable leadership!
