The Stark

Vintage Spokin'Word More early years of the Spokin'Word are now on line. Dave Cardarella has scanned the paper copies creating pdf files. The Spokin'Word web page has been reorganized. Select Year and then Month to view the desired newsletter. |
The Poker Ride, originally scheduled for May 16th, has been rescheduled for Saturday September 26th! |
Adopt-a- highway has been rescheduled for Saturday June 13th! Start time 8:00 am from the North Lot of Al Leno Park (aka Alpine Park). Due to safety for all, we will not offer coffee and snacks. We will request everyone wear gloves( we provide as always) or bring your own. We also have some long handle pincher/ pickers provided by ODT. So please don’t be afraid to help out. We need YOU! And YOU know you want a reason to get out of the house! We will practice social distancing ( oh how I dislike that term) and I will sign for everyone so no need to touch a shared pen or clipboard. No worries, see you then. Linda Christman |
The SCBC May membership meeting has been canceled due to the Coronavirus pandemic. All scheduled club group rides are suspended until further notice due to the coronavirus pandemic. We have created a May ride schedule and are creating a June ride schedule. These can be activated should the situation merit that change. Be safe and well and do continue to ride solo or with a family member. This has been a very difficult decision for your leadership to arrive at, but our member safety and well being must come first.
