You can mail them if you prefer to Walt at 8914 N. Veridian Drive, Tucson 85743.
Dues must be paid by the end of February, 2017 or you will be removed from the roster.
- Coordinators’ Reports:
a. Sunshine: Dorie Z.: Tressie and Cheryl are progressing well thanks to physical therapy. Our dear June S., is in the hospital with this dreaded cold/flu bug that is going around – please send lots of prayers her way!
b. Historian: Magda Q.: Magda told of the past hiking “group” of 4 folks who tried to scale Sombrero Peak and didn’t quite make it on the first try but succeeded on the second! This was back in 1996 and they left a flag up there and a bottle with their names in it. Curious to know if it’s still up there J Magda told us when you go somewhere that you think is new and untapped that just maybe SCRCR had been there and done that already J
c. Busybody: Barbara J.: Reminded newcomers to give her all emergency contact information. This sometimes comes in handy people so please get Barb the info asap and everything is kept confidentially.
d. Philanthropy: John Z. Going to Food Bank this week so he will have a report next week.
e. Hiking: Jim A. reported that they had 13 hikers, 4 from our group. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch where next week’s hike will take place. Remember they hike every Wednesday morning and meet at 8:20 at the east end of the “Walgreen” parking lot at Twin Peaks and Coachline.
f. Activities: Pam M.: See activities list below.
7. Group Concerns/Good of the Group:
- Bill told us the By-Law and Rules Committee is working on both and will be getting back to us soon for approval.
- Julie reminded all that she is collecting the fronts of all greeting cards for St. Jude’s hospital and all little toiletries that you get at your vacation hotels/motels or just buy for the abused women’s shelter.
