Regular Meeting, October 22,. 2008

Once again your old blogger had to leave town, this time to attend the Great Lakes Passenger Vessel Association meeting in Traverse City. The following account comes from Kevin.

In addition to the members, there were two guests hosted by Kathleen Johnson, her sister and brother-in-law.

Evan MacDonald from the Keweenaw Land Trust was our guest presenter for the meeting. Evan spoke about the Marsin Nature Retreat Center which was bequeathed to the KLT. He also spoke about the Hancock/Calumet corridor (scenic by-way) and told us about recent land acquisitions and intended projects for the future of the wetlands between those two cities. It was a very good presentation and seemed like there is many more opportunities to learn about all the other stuff the KLT is involved with. For those with an interest in land preservation, contact the KLT.

Announcements included the (1) Board Meeting next Tuesday afternoon, (2) the reading of Susan Hallwach's name as a potential member, and (3) the Christmas/Paul Harris Award dinner on the 17th of December. (we'll switch from a lunch meeting to a dinner meeting that day)

That's about it. Have a good day and we'll see you next week.



(Here are two pictures from our photo archive that will recall to us the District dinner and Paul Harris awards following dinner of a couple of years ago. We'll make this a big celebration on December 17th with a 100% turnout to see our newest Paul Harris Fellow(s).
