Note from the Prez
Pancakers:
I just wanted to clarify for all our members what us old-timers mean when we refer to Saturday runs at the 'Grainery' in Frankfort. The 'Grainery' in Frankfort refers to us meeting at the Fox Lumber Co. parking lot in Frankfort at 1 South White Street. Please plug that address into your Yahoo Map or Mapquest search engine for directions.
Please note that we will continue to meet on Saturdays at the Granary at 8:00 AM in December and January.
On Sundays, we meet at 8:00 AM at Schubert Woods off of Chestnut St. Best way to get there is off of Western. Chestnut is a few streets north of Sauk Trail. If approaching Chestnut from the north and traveling south, take a left off of Western and continue going past the school to the entrance to the Woods.
Let me know if you have any questions. Stay warm all........

Club Photographs
Have you taken photographs of club members you would like to share with the club? Perhaps that's the wrong question to ask. Let's see, if you have taken photographs from any of our club events, please share them with the club at Yahoo! Groups. If you are a member of our Yahoo! groups, you can create an account at Yahoo! that will allow you to create a photo album and upload photographs for group members to view. This service is free, and there is no limit to the number of photographs you can place on the site. If you need special instructions, please contact our web master. Any photographs placed on the site may be used by the club either on the web site or in the club newsletter.
Photo Gallery
We've added an online photo gallery. The gallery currently features images from the Scenic 10, taken at the 2 mile mark. The gallery opens in a new browser window. Enjoy.
