Meeting minutes from Oct. 9th and next meeting 11.13.25 at 7 pm

Our next meeting will be a little later at 7PM, the library already has an event from 4-7pm.  November 13th 7 PM at the Whitefish Library.   Photographers must have been taking advantage of this enchantingly warm  colorful fall day because not very many of us made it to the meeting.  Sports photography and hikes and climbs in Glacier park dominated the  conversation. Dee provided evidence of showy blooms and abundant huckleberries in  October, and a sneak peek of the views from Grinnell Glacier Overlook,  where Leanne will be hiking soon.
