Don't let the "work"; part put you off. There is work to be done, of course,
but we also have a lot of fun. In addition to constructing a kiosk that will
be used to commemorate the Washington State Park's 100th anniversary this
year, we will have a steak barbeque dinner ($10) at the picnic shelter
(joined by ranger Ted) and a potluck.
After a good day's work, we'll start the evenings with chart hour, followed
by dinner, then socializing onboard each other's boats. Please call, -1099,
or email me, chuck@wilson-net.com, with questions and to let me know you'll
be joining us. We need your help (bring a friend, too, if you'd like)! I
look forward to seeing you there.
-Chuck
