Kelowna and Vernon Beach Day on Thursday

To learners unlimited and Vernon homelearners,

We have been wanting to meet each other at a Winfield beach for awhile and summer is trickling away, so....

The weather looks best for Thursday afternoon:
2:00 @ Kopje Regional Park.
Hope to see you there!

Jorie


15480 Carrs Landing Road in Lake Country B.C.
To get there from Kelowna, drive on Highway 97 North through Winfield and turn left on Oceola Road (Tim Hortons). Turn right on Carrs Landing Road and follow to Kopje Regional Park.

From Vernon, you can come on the back road to Carrs Landing Rd. or turn off the highway at Predator ridge golf course and access the same road which is gravel, but scenic and a lovely alternative to the highway. Otherwise, turn right off the highway in Winfield (Tim Hortons) onto Oceola and follow above.

Meeting Talk

I really enjoyed the meeting last night -- thanks to everyone who came! We missed the ones who couldn't make it!
I found that link I was talking about last night! In her post today she talked about just the one I hadn't been able to find! Yay! Here it is, in case it's inspiring to anyone else too:

Meeting Tonight is at Alexander's Pub

Okay, we have figured out that Alexander's Pub has an upstairs room that we can use for our meeting tonight at 7pm.

See everyone there!!!

Meeting This Week - Location?

Talkin' Donkey's room upstairs is booked by someone else tomorrow night. Does anyone have any other preferences? If it's a nice evening we could sit outside at Blenz (across from Super Store)? Thoughts?

Meeting tomorrow August 26th and Beach Day Friday the 27th

I just talked to Jill and it looks like there is a meeting tomorrow August 26th at 7pm at Talkin' Donkey. I might even be able to make it, wahoo!

Also, does anyone want to meet at Paddle Wheel Park Beach Friday at noonish? Justin and Ashleigh have a birthday party to attend, but I might be able to come and visit! ;0)

Not Back to School Picnic?

Would anyone be interested in meeting at Kin Beach on the first day of school? Say around 11:oo a.m. and make it an annual picnic?
