Travel Club – October

We will be meeting at Kathy Keister’s home on Thursday, October 27th at 2:00 P.M.  We encourage you to carpool, as the amount of parking is limited at Kathy’s home.  If anyone needs directions, please just give me a call.

We certainly enjoyed and learned a great deal from Sandy Folk (about Death Valley Nat’l Park), Dorothy Krob (about Glacier Nat’l Park), and Kathy Kester ( about Isle Royale Nat’l Park) at our September Meeting.

At our October Meeting, Ann Odegaard will be sharing information on the Channel Islands Nat’l Park and Marsha Kuehne will be sharing information on the Badlands Nat’l Park.  If there is anyone else that would like to share, please let me know ASAP.  Thank you.

I look forward to seeing you on the 27th, if not sooner.  Take care and enjoy this lovely Fall Season.
