Traditionally we've had a swap/sale/recycling event, but this year we've had very little interest.  Plus there's now other recycling options (some of them cheaper than what we have to collect for dropping off with the County).  So we're looking for a speaker, volunteers please?

Disc golf! This time we're going to Byron. The course is just south of the Byron west stoplight.

If the course turns out to still be too unenjoyable, we'll shift a few blocks NW to Kingvall Park, and try their disc golf course instead.
