    2. Sauktoberfest roundup (2018-10-20)   Low water first year in a while we didn’t hit the Sauk river.  Joe had his drone here too.   No water so a few folks went to the Skagit.   Beerfest/Bike tour in Arlington.   Lots of fun was had!
    3. Rebecca asks is anyone writing articles for recent events.  Nancy will write a boring article.   Prob 100 pages.  Play by play on the croquet tournament will likely turn up cheaters and why Nancy lost!
