ArkLaTex chapter

[Gordon Kumpuris]

Wondering.......What's the status of this chapter since it's been officially born? Officers? Meetings? activities? And what about the Red Dirt Chapter? And Dust Bowl? And Piney Creeks?

Don''t know about the others but Dust Bowl is still moving forward under Prez Judy's leadership..

Last big event was the annual Dutch Oven Gathering last november. Lost count of the black pots but probably 50 or so folks there for a weekend of fun cooking and big time camp fires.

This has turned into a big event maybe 20 or more Dutch Ovens going big time and more good food than a person can handle so we spend the night and have a pancake breakfast the next day.

All ACC and other boaters were invited via a post on this message board.

Stay tuned for next November's event.
