Regretfully somehow Damien Cooper escaped without getting his "mug shot".
If he were not wearing a mask you could see his face in the group photo,
top row, second from the left. So be it. Regrets.
An extremely special "Thank You" is due to Wenatchee American Legion Post 10 for offering ACARC the use of their facility for the weekend. It proved to be a superior venue - great, well-equipped facility and people who went way out of their way to make sure our event would be as successful as it was, especially to the Ladies Auxiliary who rescheduled their monthly meeting so there would be no conflict of two events going on at once. Forever grateful.
Attention to those of you who may have Artistic/Design talent.

There is a move afoot to possibly upgrade or re-design or modernize our club's logo. The need exists to digitize the logo for many reasons in this computer-driven age, so if we are going to do that, it is the perfect time to take a good hard look at the logo and improve it.

Give it a try and email your input to

One of the most regular and well-attended events that ACARC sponsors is our Tuesday night Net Check-ins. Just to give you an idea of the activity this year, see the spreadsheet below. A greater number of people are involved here than in our Club Meetings - or just about anything else we do.
Weekly updates are especially important during these times of change and instantaneous re-arrangement.
You are welcome to join in the Net formally, or perhaps just listen in to the announcements on Tuesdays at 8:00 pm - if nothing else just so you can keep up to speed on events happening - or not happening - or dates changing.
GUESTS are ALWAYS welcome.
