Rob Matthews presented Jim and Darlene Doyle with the first annual “Golden Bucket award” presented to them for their contribution to our chapter. They are at most of the meetings and outings. Their bucket was loaded with all kinds of goodies from sweet treats to Blue Bucket Mine concentrate. They will keep the bucket for a year and then at next year’s Birthday Party award the “bucket” to a deserving member of their choice.
Next meeting will be held at Cabela's in Lacey. November 15, from 1:00-4:00 PM in the meeting room. This is a one time change to give members from the south end a chance to come to a meeting. Map
