Letter from the 2014 Chairman July 2014 Last month was our annual Mohican trip. I love spending the day on the river with friends and family. Mohican is by far my favorite SP event. This year the weather was awesome. In July we have our Bowling event and Quarterly meeting, always a good time to hang out with friends. In August is our white water rafting trip - sign up soon as there is limited space. This year we are going to Maumee Bay State Park for fall camp. We are limited to the first 44 paid members - this event will sell out. The cabins sleep 11 people comfortably. Information & registration forms will be made available soon. Thank you, Phil Big Bear Rock Star Heather Little Bear Holly Pop Star
