For all outdoor activities please bring the essentials: water, sack lunch, hat, sunscreen, and hiking boots.

This years' BBQ is being held Saturday, August 11, from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm in a very special location with enough poolside room for 50 of you LHC admirers. Enjoy a huge 20'x40'x8' pool with lounge chairs to lie in the sun or shade while we BBQ some old favorites. BYOB - however, drunkenness or obnoxious behavior will not be tolerated. We are requesting that you bring a favorite side dish or dessert and a $3 to $5 good-will donation so we may continue with our club functions and other costs that are hidden to our members (remember, we don't charge any dues so this is necessary to support the club's advertising, website, fliers, etc. costs.) You will also need to RSVP to secure your spot since space is limited to 50 people. Once registered, you will be given the address and directions to the party. Register online at http://www.gayhike.org/summer_bbq.htm, or call Randy at 532-8447.
