Summer Solstice, 1999ce


We held our 1st annual Solstice Picnic on June 20. The weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold. We played Horseshoes, sat around and talked alot and the kids enjoyed the playground and an open water spigot. Unfortunately, because it was Father's day we had sparse attendance, but picked up a new member!

I was able to get a few pictures of the picnic, I will get them up as soon as I have them developed.

A reporter and a photographer from the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, the major paper in our area, were there and interviewed several of us. The reporter, Susan Schwartz, is also a columnist and is well known for her reasonable, even handed approach to subjects.

She intends to contact the North Texas branch of the CoF for more information. This is looking like it might become a major article, not just some little blurb. Who knows, it could be wired to the other K-R papers!

Our next meeting is supposed to be on July 4, but because of the date we are considering moving it back a week to July 11. Members, please contact me is you think that this would be preferable.

Happy Solstice, and a sunny summer!
