President’s Message
Hello again all BATOCERS. Another month has come and gone but our summer season just keeps on rolling.
I’m writing this as I sit on our lanai on the Big Island of Hawaii (please don’t feel sorry for me). We are here for our 45th wedding anniversary. We are also awaiting the possible coming of the second hurricane to hit Big Island in 100 years tomorrow. Seems kind of appropriate when you consider both events converging because the last 45 years have been quite the whirlwind for us as well.
Anyways on to Tbirds. We have a lot of activities coming up as I’m sure you will see later in this newsletter. We have the Yosemite/Evergreen weekender which is always fun. We have Birds on the Wharf in Santa Cruz in October (which will supersede the October meeting). I know there are plans in the works for the Christmas party. Probably more that I can’t think of right now.
The end of the year brings positive changes to BATOC with elections of officers. I would like to encourage anyone, and everyone, to step up and help out by volunteering to help guide the club forward next year. Don’t be intimidated. It’s not that hard and there are lots of people to help with whatever you need. It usually doesn’t require a big-time commitment, and it might just be fun. After all it’s your club too and we’re all just trying to keep it fun. Always good to get some fresh ideas and different ways of looking at things.
Stick around for more good things to come.
Bob Dixon
