October 6th Announcements, Brags, and Confessions

Youth Exchange.  Mateo (also called Claudio) will arrive on the 5 pm flight this Saturday at Pangborn.  Please be there to greet him if possible.

Past Presidents Club Meeting.  Organized by Carol and scheduled for October 20th in the evening at Carol's with wine.  Sounds fun; we should all be past presidents!

Alatheia Riding Center.  Thanks to all who attended the gala fundraiser and contributed to this group that offers therapeutic horseback riding for the disabled.  They raised $148,000 in one evening!  This takes them very close to their 2016 projected operating budget of $225,000.


TGIF at Wayne and Karen's October 16th 6 pm.  74 Springhill Drive.  Bring Appetizers and
libations of choice.

Alice and Mitch Thompson have installed cameras at their Elk City home.  They can now watch their property from afar using a computer or phone.


Kathy Hamilton is back after a bit of an absence.  She paid up for a recent birthday.  Thanks Kathy and welcome back!

Lesley Trebotich and Mike Coleman returned from a trip to Glacier and Yellowstone.  They travelled 2,051 miles with a new trailer gig.  They enjoyed (not really) being surrounded by tens of thousands of other tourist in Glacier on free admission day at the park.  Yellowstone was high season for Japanese tourism.  A nice quiet trip with a few thousand new friends.  Sounds like fun!

Program.  Kathy Weafer and Joan Wright described and shared photos of their respective trips abroad.  Joan visited Bali, Indonesia in the later part of March just before the Hindu new year celebration. This is a good time to go. She spent time in Ubud, which is a cultural and artistic center in the interior of the island, Amed on the coast, which has nice snorkeling and beaches and in the Kuna area where most of the tourist hotels along the coast and beach area are located.  Kathy's trip was to South America.
