The Adirondack Mountain Club Laurentian Chapter are planning a slew of outings for the remainder of winter and into early spring.

Those interested in attending should contact the person listed with each event.

• Jan. 1 - New Year's Day pot luck party at Adirondack Lodge, Clarkson University. No cooking facilities, so club members say to bring hors d'oeuvres that don't need cooking or heating. There will be short, easy walking, skiing or snowshoeing tours of campus trails. Outdoor activities start about 2 p.m. with snacks about 4 p.m. Pets are not allowed indoors.
