We will have a great meeting for you this month. Our speaker is Ellen Jackson, who will report on her detecting skills in Israel. We will also need to elect a nominating committee soon, so please be considering that. Also, if you would like to "run" for office, please let us know. More great news is that dues are coming due in October--$30 for family, and $25 for individual. Also, October is the month of hunts, and our open hunt on October 28 will be a lot of fun. Please get your money in soon; the forms will be available at the meeting. We had 80 people in the hunt last year so it will be great. Our summer is coming to a close, so the weather will be better for hunting. Please be careful and cover your holes.
