The August meeting was held on the 14th at the Camillus Erie Canal Park. The buzz after the meeting was that we will no longer plan a meeting around the Canal as every time we do, it rains, and rain it did. We didn't get our ride but we did get our lunches and our meeting and socializing in. 27 people attended. The upcoming meetings were discussed with a change for the October meeting now going to be at Glimmerglass State Park/Hyde Hall Covered Bridge. If you have any ideas for meeting places for next year please let an officer or board member know. A couple of members are going to look into Federal money that was supposedly part of the 2010 National Historic Covered Bridge Preservation Program for Newfield and Salisbury Center and find out what it was used for. There is quite a bit of covered bridge news from other states but thankfully New York is pretty quiet. It was reported that Sharon Grossman's husband and Dick Bailey's father have passed and our sympathies and thoughts go out to their families. The meeting was closed and we went through the museum while waiting to find out the fate of the boat trip. In the pouring rain, Dave Frantz walked the trail anyway.
