[Ymers] Mountain Biking program & Happy Memorial Day!

[Jennifer Eaton]

Hi Ymers!

Hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend!  I'm off with a big crew to
Acadia to explore new parts of the island.  It is a repeated trip that fills
up every year.  Should be fun!

I meant to send this Sunday but after a long canoe paddle Saturday and the
Sunday picnic, I was wiped and brain was asleep before the rest of me was!
Special kudos to Meg Germain, Eliza Langhans, and well, me for putting
together a new Who's Who board for YM, which was displayed at the picnic and
admired by many.  Project turned out great!  Thanks guys!

YM turnout was much better this year....we filled a table & 1/2 with YMers!
Whoo hoo!  Next year, I hope we double it!

Sorry Selby for not getting this out.  I hope you had a good turn out.

Maybe some went tonight...as it was the kick off the YM's new Mountain
Biking program put together by Selby.  There's more to follow so catch up
with him!  If interested in mountain biking on other days and can't make
Tuesdays, let him know that too as he plans to put together more trips if
interest in there!  See below for the schedule and it is also posted on our
website at www.amcworcester.org.ym.

will plan September.  We'll take July & August off.  Maybe we can have a few

Thanks Julie for doing the food!  What a great break it'll be for me!
