Thank You. Planning events that you will enjoy is always a challenge. We have two programming committee meetings on this month s calendar. Many times, members will suggest an event that they would like to see on the calendar. As you may know, we do not have a paid staff that can handle all of your great ideas but we would like to have these events on the calendar. We would like to suggest that you take the initiative to make your event happen and we ll be happy to put it on the calendar once it has been planned. That means that you will plan the event and host it or have a co-host join you in the planning. Of course, the Programming Committee, chaired by Gerald Boileau, will do everything that they can to help you with your planning. Once planned, we will see where your event will fit into our calendar of events. We try not to have a conflict between events that may occur at the same time because we would like each event to be a success and enjoyed by many of the members. We look forward to hearing about your event Camping Dates June Moffitt Beach, sites July 7-14 Harris Lake, sites August Rollins Pond, sites 1-35 September Cranberry Lake, sites 41- Remember to make your reservations for the Residential House Party, The SUNYA football game and various food and other events when noted with RSVP.
