President’s Message

Ok well then another month has gone by and summertime is just rolling along.
I wasn’t at the September meeting, but I know Larry did a great job. Sue has been working hard on some club tax status details that apparently needed updating. Kim and I have had this trip planned for over a year. I’m actually writing this message from 12,000ft in Peru. It’s a cool place but it will be nice to get back home again too.

The Evergreen/Yosemite overnighter was a huge success by all accounts. Nice that we got it in before the big fire. I want to say great job Dave and Susan for putting it together. I’d also like to thank Al and Pam Rojas for the boat rides around our pretty little Pine Mountain Lake. It was nice having everyone for lunch at our little get away bungalow. Kim and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
Anyways we (BATOC) have lots of great things coming up in the next few months for you to join in on. Just think about how great it feels to get that bird out for a cruise somewhere with good friends for the day. If you don’t see anything that calls to you in the schedule, maybe think about sponsoring an outing to one of your favorite places.
On that note I’ll remind everyone that board elections come up in November for next year’s board and we need to fill several positions. Volunteer for a year and see how much fun it can be to help steer your club in 2027. It’s not hard and you might even enjoy getting involved.
That’s all for now. Let’s keep those birds rolling.
Bob Dixon
