Summer Walks

Near the end of each year people often ask, "What are you planning for the summer?"

So...the Program Committee has selected two informal "outings" providing a chance to walk and socialize. There is no formal registration for these walks. Just show up @ 9:30 and look for anyone who is full of LIFE and you will know with whom to walk and visit. Invite your family and friends for these two outings.
