2 The Prez Sez: Wow, what a change from last month's weather. The weather outside is certainly getting warmer. Warmer weather means most of us are thinking about summer and many of the great outdoor activities that come with the season. I'm sure most of you are looking forward to time spent with family and friends at the beach, the lake, by the pool or backyard BBQ. I hope that you will spend some time with us and kick off your summer with the great outdoor activities we have planned. First up we have a biking and rafting weekend in Jim Thorpe, PA. This drive up trip includes a hotel stay at the historic Inn at Jim Thorpe. If you are not familiar with the Inn at Jim Thorpe it is definitely worth a visit. We close out the month of June with kayaking on the Susquehanna river. All of these activities promise to be fun filled events for all, read on in the newsletter for the event dates and details not mentioned here. Last but not least I hope everyone that attended the Willie Marble Xperience benefit concert had a great time. The band can certainly turn out some great music. I hope this is an event we will continue to support in the future and contribute to its growth just as we have our own charity auction. If you did not or were not able to attend this year I hope you can make it out next year.
