From Our President:
Welcome back from summer break! Our new season will be in full swing shortly, I am going to keep this a short message but I want to congratulate Noor Soboh and and Steven Gumina, for winning this year's Scholarship award from MMLS. Steven was at our June general meeting to accept his award in person, while Noor was taking a geology course in Ireland that she used her Scholarship money to help pay for. Please join us for the upcoming picnic on Sunday, September 18th.
Mike Bomba presented the President's Award to outstanding member Russ Ranker at the Club's April general meeting. Congratulations Russ for your tireless service to the club!
