Open for Business!

It seems like summer gets shorter and shorter every year. The only parts that seemed way too long were the days over 90 degrees. Was it enough to be willing to usher in the snows of winter? Not a chance!

During our first meeting after our summer break, we were entertained by a variation of a traditional school assignment: What I did on my summer vacation. As you might assume, involvement in sports was a common answer. Most members participated in, attended, or played a video game version of their favorite sports throughout the summer. Travel ranked as the second most common response, with suitably exotic destinations. Among the other activities shared were adventures in gardening, using lawn mowers as dozers, being paid to attend concerts, renewing old acquaintances, and creative driving. We have a thought about the creative driving stories: One can only guess at the odds of that many vehicles having brakes go out at the same location the same week. Attend the next meeting and you'll most likely hear the rest of the story.

On the previous post (below) are the important dates to remember. If you have the opportunity, the 15th District Annual Meeting is worth the travel. At that meeting they finalize dates for meetings and inspections, and convey information relevant for the coming year. Definitely valuable information.
