Letterboxing is family-friendly with unlimited options for exploring!Letterboxing Club meets once a month to learn about the hobby’s history and guidelines, create materials, share resources, and learn how to use the AtlasQuest clue-sharing website. Some meetings may include field trips to search for, or "hide," letterboxes. To learn about Letterboxing, check out the AtlasQuest website: www.atlasquest.com.When: Last Friday of the Month, 11am-12:30pmWhere: Kamen East Park Field House, 1111 South Blvd. Interested? Contact Club Coordinator, Claire, at ridgevilleletterboxing@gmail.com.
