LFLB/RC August News Update
Many thanks to Karin and Barry Seiller for once again hosting a delightful summer barbeque. And thanks to our hard-working social directors, Leigh Stewart and Rick Young. They scheduled perfect weather for us on July 6 ! We all enjoyed a wonderful evening with great food.

In case you haven't already noticed, there is a new fence at Barat College on the Saturday morning running route. A chain link fence is up for new contruction, blocking the way to the bike path, and it looks like it will be up for awhile. Runners and walkers have to go left of the fence to be able to get to the bike path.
Alternatively, we could take a right into the Woodlands Academy driveway, right after crossing Sheridan Road. Follow the drive around the school, through the woods, and out onto the baseball field. There is a water fountain near the field, too.
