Thank you for taking your time and posting all the trips
We have some new trips and some club traditional trips.

Thank to all the trip leaders
New sections on shenango, French creek woodcock lake.
Returning to some trips we haven't done in a while cuyahoga kent, Youngstown mahoning, Mahoning River Foster Park, Clarion River, Guilford Lake

We may want to decide on the procrastinators party at the club picnic. If we wait till December we may be procrastinating at the planning meeting. I'll try to keep that in the back of my mind but I can't promise I'll remember that in July.

There is now a reminder on the schedule to set the date for procrastinator's at the club picnic.
