Brags & Confessions

Jim & Carol had a great trip to Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.  Only down side was driving through a parking lot when a big geyser erupted. The caustic spray drenched their car, and they had to spend big bucks getting it cleaned off.

Kevin sported the unicorn wig again, and vowed to pass it on. 

Alan & Kelly are celebrating 14 years of marriage, gained a new grandson, a son had a birthday, and another son is getting married - all in October.

Robin bragged about having two new "grandkids" - one from an Apple Sox player, and one from a Wild hockey player that they hosted in the past.

Program

Rebecca introduced Curt Soper, Executive Director of the Chelan/Douglas Land Trust.  Curt showed pictures and talked about what the Land Trust is doing.  The non-profit Trust was formed in 1985, and is conservation based on volunteer agreements with landowners, with 21,000 acres conserved.  There are 2000 members, 14 staff, and 16 board members.  They are now doing restoration of plants, trees, and waterfront areas.  They maintain many miles of trails through the lands.
