RECENT WALKS:

Eunice and Dorothy rode with Chelane down to the Mid-America Regional Convention.  Once there, we joined Eunice's sister and Chelane's dad.

This statue of Lincoln the lawyer was in the park on the March 9 walk in Urbana, IL.


We walked in Birmingham on March 15 and the snow and ice were still factors with which we had to contend.

Dangerously thin ice on the river.

Then, on March 29, Teresa and Chelane went down to the Oubache State Park event south of Fort Wayne, IN.



The weather was sunny but windy and the trails were muddy, so they had us do a revised route all on pavement.

Chelane did the YRE in Blissfield on April 5.  One of the houses had a funny display out front . . .

A neighbor said the homeowner was in Cancun, but would be returning the next day, so the display would be gone soon.


COMING UP NEXT:

The Washtenaw Wanderers are hosting their Fairy Door event in Ann Arbor on Sunday, April 6.

On Saturday, April 12, we're going to Group Walk on the Rails to Trails walk in Stockbridge.

On Saturday, April 26, we'll Group Walk in Jackson.

Memorial Day weekend we'll do our 2008 Trip to the Mammoth Cave region in Kentucky.  In general, the trip will leave early on Saturday, May 24 from Lansing and head through Ohio into Kentucky where we'll do a walk in Bernheim Arboretum.  On Sunday, May 25, we are hosting a Guided Walk event in Mammoth Caves that includes the Grand Avenue Tour.  Then on Monday, May 26 , we'll do the 2 state walk in Louisville , and then head home.  We'll be taking Chelane's van, unless we get enough folks for a bigger van.  Please send a $25 deposit to reserve your seat for this trip.

CLUB STUFF:

We didn't have a quorum at the special meeting in Birmingham for our elections for VP and Treasurer.  So, at this point, we have one nomination for VP, Teresa Hatswell, and one for Treasurer, Joan Ritter (for her second term).  If you have any other nominations please email them to me, and CC Dot Meyers also.  I'll close the nominations at our Stockbridge walk, and if we have a quorum we'll vote and if not, I'll be asking for your email votes at that time.
