Rolling calendar for the next fiscal year – there are literally activities every day in our beautiful area /
state. Whenever the topic of events comes up it starts members offering ideas. I suggest we have a
working list that gets vetted and we select a few group outings that the club can do together. If we are
aware of WRPS events in advance, we can plan and gain more participation. Other events that do not
have wide interest can stay on the calendar, and smaller groups can attend on their own if desired.
