1 September Volume 119 September 2013 President s Message Hello fellow MSC members, When my kids were young, it seemed Labor Day always marked the end of Summer, beginning of the school year and, before we knew it, Christmas would be upon us. So here we are, marking the passage of Summer and already looking forward to the first flakes of snow. So far, this Summer has been filled with fun activities for our club members, and we're not finished quite yet. Last month, we had a wonderful time kayaking down the Mokelumne (despite the very low water level) followed by a barbecue and the wonderful wines of the Viaggio Winery. Kudos to the owners of the Viaggio for allowing us to use their beautiful grounds at no charge! This coming weekend is our camping trip to Spicer Reservoir. Ron and I took a trip up to Spicer last weekend to scope out the grounds for everyone. While it was a little hazy, the smoke from the Rim Fire wasn't bad. Be sure to look for the rest of the upcoming activities in this months newsletter. As a reminder, when you're using the Lodge, please be sure everyone (including your guests) signs the Lodge Book. Also, if you decide to use the fireplace, please do not clean it out. We have members who do this for us on a regular basis. These past few months, I have taken the opportunity to learn a little about our club's history. I am so proud to be a part of such a wonderful, fun, and active club! If you get the chance, sit down and talk with some of our long time members. The club history is fun and fascinating. I hope to see you all at the next general meeting, September 10, at the home of the Bogetti's. Sincerely, Pam Shelton President [1]
