Correspondence:  VP, Art Schipper sent out a final/revised Calendar of Events for 2022 on June 22, 2021.  He commented on how complicated it has become due to Covid-19 during the past two years have been…but, it is finally confirmed and the calendar is done!  Thanks, Art, your effort is really appreciated!

Treasurer’s Report:  Treasurer, Bob Jehle presented the Treasurer’s Report which showed the current bank balance and was accepted as presented with no corrections.  We currently have RV Park deposits pending. The total for club merchandise remains the same.

Vice President’s Report (Future Outings):  With the Final Calendar of Events for 2022 completed, VP, Art Schipper mentioned that we have 4 ½ months that still needed Co-Hosts.  A clipboard was sent around to the attending membership for sign-ups for those months. After the clipboard went around, we now have 2 ½ still not having Co-Hosts (April, August, & November {1/2}).  All of the parks scheduled have indicated that use of the clubhouse is OK and no extra charges will be levied.  So, next year looks like a “GO” at this time!

Next Outing Wagon Master’s Report:  The next outing will be at the Almond Tree RV Park in Chico on September 23-26.  Mary Jehle mentioned that the Salmon Festival in Oroville is on the calendar and that it is looking like it will be very active with a street festival, craft faire, car show, & food booths, etc.  Our Hosts have planned for our club to attend the festival on Saturday (Sept. 25).  The Club Meeting will be on Friday, Sept. 24.  The Jehles are thinking that they might have a “bring your own meat” B-B-Q at their house on Thursday.  One night will probably be a catered meal from a local restaurant at the Almond Tree RV Park.  Plans for Sunday are still being worked on.  It sounds like a fun weekend!  Hope to see everyone there!

Sunshine:  Leora Matranga recently had a knee replacement operation.  She is doing well.  They had hoped that they could attend this time…but, Leora realized that she needed to take things a bit more slowly for a few weeks and hopes to attend one of the next outings.  Carol Kenyon passed around a card for Leora for all to sign.  It should be in the mail soon!  Hope to see you soon, Leora & Johnnie!  Take care!
