WSPAisplanningcomeactivitieswhichmayinclude:
1. Evening of Monday September 24th WSPA/SPA “Welcome Drinks” At the Tiki Bar https://www.mcmenamins.com/anderson-school/north-shore-lagoon
• This is the main arrival day for the SPA Members • Steve M does not know how many people will show up, but he anticipates quite a few as when
they did the italy trip, the majority of members were there the first night. • Steve M thinks based on the timelines/schedule this would be the best • We did not get into who is paying for anything, so without either SPA or WSPA paying for
anything it would be up to everyone to pay for their own tabs 2. Daytime on Thursday September 27th
OPTION 1: WSPA/SPA Lake Isabel Fly-Out Bring your own food
• Most of the SPA members will be taking Kenmore planes • WSPA would take our own planes • WSPA could give a quick talk about Toilet, Keeping Lake open, Fish • No indication of who manages space on the beach
OPTION 2: POULSBO or ALDERBROOK As Bruce suggested, this could also be on Friday if they do not end up going to Victoria
• Most of the SPA members will be taking Kenmore planes • WSPA would take our own planes • This is a pretty exciting option I think for both Poulsbo and for SPA
