Annual Garage Sale of Adventures
It’s that time of the year again. We have rescheduled our Annual Garage Sale of Adventures to be held on Tuesday, March 9. It will start prior to the regular meeting and resume after the meeting,, members will be able to buy and sell any excess adventure equipment that they might have. You will be able to participate in this "Garage Sale of Adventures" either as a seller allowing others to enjoy new adventures, or as a buyer, being able to explore new adventures yourself. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. If you have anything to put in the Annual Garage Sale of Adventures bring it to the March meeting. Identify the item, the price you are asking and your name on a piece of paper attached to the item. Then potential buyers can then locate the seller, if there are any questions or to make payment.

Gear News
Contact gearmeister Julie C. if there is something that you think the club should purchase. She will research your requested item(s) and present your request for a vote at a subsequent club meeting.
