Meetings
are held twice a month from October through April.
Program
Meetings: We gather at 7:00 pm on the first Tuesday of each month in
the Community Room of Wildware Backcountry, 995 Peiffer's Lane,
Harrisburg, Pa. 17109 (717-564-8008). Afterwards we generally visit the
nearby Your Place for snacks and a brew.
Dinner Socials: We usually meet
at 7:00 pm on
the Wednesday fifteen days after the program meeting. We eat, gab and do a
little informal business at these affairs. It's a nice time to get to
know each other a little better.
Members are asked to PLEASE avoid parking in the small lot that serves
Wildware. There is parking at the top and to the right of the
drive leading to the store. There is also a parking lot
behind the Wildware store. It is reached by turning at
Sunnycrest from Peiffer's Lane.

Picnic/Music
in the Nissley Vineyard
Mark
your calendars now for a Kick 'n Glider August happening. On
August 7, we will gather for an evening of food, drink, talk, laughter,
music and dancing on our annual trip to Nissley Vineyards in
Bainbridge, PA. The happening under the stars on the lawn of the
Vineyard will be on Saturday, August 7. The music will be the
Headliners who play Top 40 variety, 60's thru 90's.
Bring
your picnic dinner and some extra to share, plus your lawn chair or
blanket.We purchase wine from Vineyard (no alcohol can be brought in)
or bring your own soda or water. We will talk about trips past
and trips in the future, and generally maintain our skiing friendships
during the months when we can't ski.
The
wine contributes to the laughter and a good time is always had by all
attending. The music starts at 7:30 PM. We suggest you plan to arrive
around 6:00 PM. Late arrivals have been turned away in the past. Since
this is an outdoor event, and the weather can be uncertain, check with
the Vineyard at 717/426-3514 if you have questions about the concert
being cancelled.
Event
leaders are Bill and Kay Pickering. You don't need to make a
reservation, but since Bill and Kay will be saving space for our group,
it’s a big help to know how much space to save. E-mail Bill at:
billpick55@comcast.net. The price for a General Admission ticket is
$15.00 to be purchased as you enter. No credit cards or out of area
checks are accepted at the Admissions Tent. More information can be
found at: www.nissleywine.com/lawn_concerts.htm.
