President’s Message – July 2018

Presidents Message

Remember our August picnic is coming up. We have reserved our regular location at Lake Wilderness Park on Sunday August 5th or 12th. Check the posting below for further details.

In case you are new member and have not attended our summer picnic before, it’s a pot luck with an auction following. It’s always a good time to visit and enjoy one another plus pickup some good bargains at our auction.

We had several members volunteer to help out at our show at the June general meeting. Thank you! We really have a big need for someone to oversee the Raffle and Door Prizes. We have a few helpers already signed up for this area but we really someone to be Chairman and make sure all the bases are covered. Wouldn’t you like to volunteer? I will have the signup sheets at the picnic.

There is no Thursday meeting in August. The picnic takes the place of our regular meeting.

Please think seriously about volunteering. We still need a lot more volunteers/helpers in many positions. So remember to volunteer for our show!!!!! Sign up at our July meeting or contact Mark or Kat.

  • Maureen Carlisle, Former Docent at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, will take us through A Day on a Dig: “Over the years I’ve been asked about what it is like to be on a dino dig, so I’d like to answer some of these questions. I’ll cover some of the practical aspects of both archaeology and paleontology, as I have had the pleasure of being involved in both.” Show and Tell: bring a fossil or artifact that you’ve found or collected.

  • Come one, come all and play ROCK BINGO! With schools out for many local school districts, we invite members, guests, and especially families and kids to come and enjoy one of our most fun nights of the year. Everyone is guaranteed to win at this FREE event!
