Tom Pankratz is turning over the reins of
Programs VP. He has done an outstanding job by inviting members
and guest speakers to wow us with their professional and hobbyist
expertise.
From Don Miller's "Fossilpalooza 2" to "How to
Dig Up a Giant Dinosaur" by Jason Schein, much more, Tom has provided
our club with fun and educational programs and people who presented
them.
Thanks, Tom, for your fine service to our club!
What will our new VP come up with? Well, Stay
Tuned.
Times: 11:00 AM - PM Picnic Meeting
Refreshments: See Teddi Silver or
Sophie Homesy to sign-up for June 13, 2009 food.
Program:
"Annual Picnic"
(in lieu of Monday, June 8th Meeting)
This year our June meeting was on Saturday, June
13 at Brandywine Springs Park and we started at 11:00. As usual, we grilled food and asked
that everyone brought an appetizer, side dish,
or a dessert. Teddi had the sign-up sheet at the May meeting.
We brought our hobby-related items you wished to sell or swap.
The park is less than a mile from the Greenbank
Mill. From the intersection of Greenbank Road and Rt. 41 (Newport Gap
Pike), travel 0.8 mile north on Rt. 41. At a light turn right onto Rt.
34 (Faulkland Road). The park is on your right. We have reserved the
Lawson Pavilion which is at the back of the park near the baseball
fields (sorry but the closer pavilions were booked on all possible
dates).
Brandywine Springs Park was once the location of
a resort and then an amusement park. Historic photos are placed
along the sides of the Hyde Run trail. In addition, the state mineral,
sillimanite, has been found at Hyde Run and garnets are sometimes found
in the boulders in the Red Clay Creek. Glad to have seen you there!
