Trips
Bill Brown
informed the club there were signup sheets available for the various upcoming
trips. The club is receiving calls, from
non-club members who regularly attend the trips, about future trips. These non-club
members are providing trip payment with their reservation requests. This is
important because club members are not always providing payment with their sign
ups.
