Trackers’ Talk
March / April, 2012 -
By Phyllis Gall, Editor
Past Newsletter link.
It is going to be a busy year ahead for the
Clay-Platte Trackers. There will be
group walks most Saturdays and Wednesdays.
We are co-sponsoring a multi-event on Memorial Day Weekend at Rocheport
on the Katy Trail (details below). In October, we are hosting the Regional
Roundup Weekend. They are a lot of
work and I am sure Missy would appreciate it if you would volunteer your
help in any way. Check out our
schedules below for the start times and more information. They are also posted on our website: www.ava.org/clubs/clayplatte.
Our March meeting will be at the Gashland
Presbyterian Church on N. Oak starting at 7 pm. If
you haven’t picked up your 20th Anniversary T-Shirt, they will
be at the meeting, $10 for short sleeve, $15 for long sleeve.
