well dare we say the forecast will be warm and pleasant days with clear
skies and chilly nights. 
the Full Moon is just over with a very well lit moon for night walks on
the beach..

Any & ALL VWCCNY are invited to come out for the day on Saturday (park
fee ~$7)
to enjoy the 25+ VWs (Splits, Bays, Vanagons & tents) camped amongst the
sand dunes and dune grass. 
Bring a picnic lunch or there is a food service cantina, a few miles of
sandy beach to walk on, 
some may even canoe/kayak on the nearby Dune sheltered ponds, fly a kite
with the lake winds 
or just enjoy a day of VW camaraderie.  you DON'T need a VW to come out,
though it is preferred ;-) 
8119 Southwicks Place     Henderson, NY 13650   (Just off Route3 & 193

DOGS are welcome at Southwick, BUT you need to BRING their Rabies TAGS &
PAPERS. 
with Southwick bordering a nature preserve ( I think it's an Audubon
society bird sanctuary) 
they are STRICT on their enforcement of DOG TAGS & PAPERS. 
 
(I just don't want anybody to have any trouble or surprises when they
get there.) 
 
Crew Stevens is planning on heading out early Friday morning. leaving my
house @ 9am 
stopping for Breakfast at the truck stop diner near the intersection of
I-81 & Rt 104 about 9:30-10:30
if anyone else is traveling about that time, stop in for eats or coffee
and caravan to Southwick S.P.
 
With clear chilly nights.. firewood will be in demand. 
 
Sunday morning's social of Full Moon Breakfast Burritos ala Mark & Dave 
location TBD.
