Happy Summer 2016!

With pictures like this I know I'm home for the summer. Hello all. This is Don Hopper coming to you from Camp "Whispering Waves" on the South Shore. I hope everyone had a happy and healthy year since you left for home last summer.

By the way, did you know that when you were heading home others of your fellow members might have been going to...are you ready?....how good are you with State abbreviations?...

AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, MA, MD, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, VT, WI, or BC, Canada. That's 19 states and one province! I hope everyone comes back.

We have many exciting things planned for the summer, but I have to say the most exciting is my Daughter Emily's wedding @ the Caroga Chapel on July 2. Her future husband Jeremy is pretty cool too.
