August 2008 - The “It's Hot” Summer Edition

 

Frances speaks

The following comes from our president, Francis Pedneau.

Summer Barbecue

The annual summer BBQ and meeting was held at the home of F and F (that's Francis and Francee Pedneau for those of not in the know) and was acclaimed by all who attended a great success. Fifteen members and guests took part. Many members from Big Pine and Bishop who had planned to attend were unable to due to the flooding at Fort Independence. But ONE member persisted. Linda Baptie was 2 hours late, but she made it. Our silent auction was enjoyed by all. With some very spirited bidding by some determined bidders. Thanks to all who donated items to the auction and thanks to all who brought dishes to the BBQ. Two members of the Palmdale Gem and Mineral Society, Don and Cheri George, attended and enjoyed the company of our club members.

Summer Barbecue On July 13

Now that summer is officially here and the temperatures are warm, it's time to start thinking about our annual barbecue. The barbecue is potluck, but the club is supplying burgers and hot dogs and all the fixins'. This gathering will replace our July club meeting (we'll hold a brief meeting before the festivities begin). Meet at Francis and Francee's house at 221 W. Bush St. in Lone Pine at 2:00 pm on Saturday, July 13.
