Not On the Lake


We tried again. Still no boat ride. Haha.

Once again, Dan hosted the Spirit of the Woods board meeting at his cabin on Harper Lake with the promise of a boat ride afterwards. Last September, it got dark on us. Today, it rained all afternoon and evening. So we were not ON the lake.

So, although we were not on a boat on the lake, the cabin is "on the lake." At least it was a nice view.

We conducted a lot of important business. I'm really pleased with the way the chapter is developing a leadership team rather than one or two people doing all the work.

Maybe some day we'll get that boat ride. Although the next meeting is going to be at a different place, so it seems unlikely for September.

In other news: I got my quota of editing done and spent a fair amount of time doing prep for the meeting.

Almost a Boat Ride


We were going to have a pontoon boat ride, but it got too dark. We'll just have to have another meeting that starts earlier!


This was our first Spirit of the Woods Chapter of the NCTA board meeting under recently elected President Dan Driesinga. We had a lot of important things to cover, and he did a great job of keeping us on track. We decided we needed to finish the agenda rather than have playtime on the water.

I'm really happy to have our chapter getting things put together and so many people stepping up to fill roles.


Got a fair amount of other things done today too.
