We had a good time at the monthly Club Night. Last night was a potluck at Frederic and Esther's house in Bellevue. We had the grill going, Fred brought a cobbler that Annie had made, there was beer and talk of mountains. I never counted but there were probably 12 or more people there. Thanks Frederic and Esther!

The club will be sponsoring a Wilderness Advanced First Aid course in Leavenworth in April. First aid is a crucial skill for mountaineering. I urge each of you to participate in this great opportunity!
UPDATE: Wow, the WAFA course was amazing! The facility is cool, the content is substantial and important, and the instructors at Rescue Specialists are top-notch. We had fifteen club members complete the course and receive their WAFA certifications.
Fantastic!
