Here is an amazing fact, at 5 minutes and six seconds after 4 AM on the 8th of  July this year, the time and date will be 04:05:06 07/08/09.  Please don’t call me.  This will next occur on 07/08/09 in 2109. I probably won’t be around for that.

OK, Carolyn Bringhurst was the first to identify Herbert Kretzmer, he was the guy that wrote the lyrics for Les Miz.  We should probably erect a statue for him. Who was the first guy to eat a clam or an oyster?  They also deserve statues.

We have a lot of great activities planned over the summer, including our center city branch. Our initial center city meeting was on May 20th; we had about 31 people attend, and about half of them said they planned on becoming members.  Great job by Glenn and Janet Elliot, mucho thanks!  The Center City group will meet on the third Wednesday of each month at Downey’s at Front and South streets.

Our next major event is June 5th, at the Desmond Hotel in the Great Valley Corporate Center, a joint happy hour with MLSC, Brandywine Valley Ski Association, King of Prussia, and Merck.  The event starts at 5PM and goes to 7PM.

Among many bike rides, walks, concerts, and hikes, some of the next major events are Sally’s Potluck Garden Party on July 11th, the annual lobster feast on August 8th, then the annual wine and cheese party on November 8th.

Some advice for the next three months, enjoy the summer, use SPF 50, drink lots of liquids, exercise, wear a helmet when riding your bike, and have fun!

See you in June, July, and August and especially at our September meeting, trip sign-up meeting, at the Crowne Plaza on September 8, 2009.
