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.

At Our Last Meeting: Saturday, June 13, 2009

Location: Brandywine Springs Park, Wilmington, DE

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!
