December Potpourri Meeting

 The December meeting will celebrate our member's adventures during 2012 through a potpourri of presentations. The tentative lineup (some previews below) includes:
 
Daffy Does Peru - Paula Barclay & Cathy Grastataro
Two couples, two weeks, two fabulous ancient Incan cities. And that doesn't even begin to describe the incredible Andean scenery.
Canyon Adventures - William Priedhorsky
Ten Minutes in the Khumbu, Nepal - Donathan Krier & Kelly Gallagher
A November trek in the Mt. Everest region.
Grand Traverse of the Vail Pass Winter Recreation Area - Michael Altherr
Adventure in Wales – Melanee and David Hand
Boating the Salmon River during a Wildfire - John Martin for Dennis Brandt
 
The meeting will also be a dessert festival. Please bring your favorite cookies, cakes, pies, or just yourselves. We'd like to be setting up the desserts by 7:15, be sharing desserts by 7:30, and start the presentations at 8:00. As usual, we will be meeting in the Great Room of Fuller Lodge, on the usual date - 3rd Wednesday of the month, December 19th.
 
Please come on out to enjoy some of our member's adventures from this year.
