Campers' Group Bulletin - Spring 2003

Campers' Group Bulletin - Spring 2003

Although it snowed again last week, warmer weather is on the way. It will soon be time for all you good campers to come out of your dens, take your tents out of the closet, and return to your favorite sites. I may not know what the stock market will do, or what the President will do, but I am sure that winter's snows will melt, swelling the rivers and streams, feeding the tiny shoots that signal the arrival of spring! Join us around the campfire and tell us the stories of how you survived the winter!

To reserve a space on a weekend trip or a day event, call the leaders during the listed time period. If you need information earlier than the dates listed below, call David at 718-897-1448. You can mail us your dues or pay it at the weekend. One year's membership costs $12 for an individual or $18 for a family ($8/individual or $12/family if you receive the newsletter by e-mail).
