Happy August!
Celebrating Birthdays this Month
Marsha Brunelle -August 23rd
Nancy Swift - August 30th
Happy Birthday and we hope you enjoy your day!
Below are the Email notes from Marty regarding several upcoming events are listed below. I added them to the newsletter just as a gentle reminder. Please let Marty know if you are planning on attending.
1) There was not a lot of response to the picnic in the park. I was able to stop the permit for the pavilion which was going to cost 50.00. I will be in touch with those who were planning to attend and return checks and see how many would like to go to Slicks' for lunch that day.
2) We talked about a Wade bus trip on Sept 27th at our last meeting and there were many of you interested. The trip is called "Experience the Adirondacks" and includes a guided tour of Camp Sagamore, a lunch cruise/ buffet style lunch and admission to the Adirondack Museum. The cost is 109.00 per person. You can make your reservation by calling 518-355-4500. Let me know so I can arrange seating together as they now have assigned seating.
3) How many are interested in The Walk across the Hudson on Sept 13th. Ade has found us a place for lunch and we will arrange car pooling as we get closer to the date. Let me know if you are planning to come along with us.
4) I have a refund for the 45.00 we gave to the Queen's Council towards the convention. I deposited in our account. We can decide later if that is where it should stay or if we prefer to do something else with it.
