- Field Trips
- Peachfork Orchards
- Tish will contact the orchard before our April meeting to see the status of the blossoms and if the owners have a suggestion for a day to visit.
- Fraser Rec Center
- Tish will bid on the group pass for the Fraser Tubing Hill at the PRC Banquet. If the club wins, we will go swimming and tubing. Otherwise, Tish will research the cost of swimming and renting the tumbling room.
- She did find out that Fridays and Saturdays from 12-4 are best.
- Update: The club did not win the tubing pass. Therefore, we will swim and tumble at the Fraser Rec. Date - TBA. Cost = $110 (Tumble Party Group of 8 kids and 2 adults for 1.5 hours) + $25 for swimming + $6 for each extra child (and maybe adults?). Children ages 6 and under are FREE. To be discussed at March meeting!
