We now have a plan! Many thanks to MuleLars and Wally 13 for their assistance and wisdom in putting this together! 8-)

All activities will take place in the meeting room of the Country Inn & Suites, 400 River PL, Menona, just a short distance from Copia. As you enter the main entrance, you will see the desk. Look to the right, just beyond the breakfast room, to see the meeting room. We will have a banner and sign to let you know you have found us. Just come on in and join the fun. We will have name badges available.

Friday will be a 'Paddlers Rendezvous'. Everyone is invited. We will begin about 3pm and be there until about 10pm or so. It is come & go or come & stay depending on your plans. We will have complimentary beverages including coffee, craft beer, pop (reg & diet), & water. This can be a good opportunity for trip planning (bring your maps), and talking about previous trips and plans. We are asking for a $5 donation to cover room rental. We will have a donation can for that purpose. It is on the 'honor' system.

Along about 6pm, we will poll those present for a pizza order. Pizza will come from Falbo's, as in the past.   (You need to Login or Register This will continue periodically through the evening. Please bring cash! 8-)
