  • March 2005 Meeting

    Bruno & Karin Averbeck on PowerPoint presentation of their climbs & hikes since 2002

    We plan to meet on Sunday evening (not our usual Monday evening time), March 13th, at 7:30 pm.  We will meet at Jon Freckleton’s home.  Bruno & Karin Averbeck will be sharing a PowerPoint presentation of their climbs & hikes since 2002.  This will include their climb of Mt. Baker in the summer of 2003, hikes in Patagonia, South America in the winter of 2002 & climbs in Joshua Tree National Park in the winter of 2003.  And, knowing the Averbecks, we may be treated to even more.  Please feel free to invite your friends interested in the great outdoors.

    Jon’s home is at 1651 Harris Rd., Penfield, NY
    Directions to his place:

    If coming from the west side of Penfield, get on I-590 and exit east on Browncroft Blvd. (route 286). Jon’s house is about 7 miles from I-590. Browncroft changes to Atlantic Av. where the road changes from four to two lanes. Continue until you get to the light at the intersection with route 250. Continue for about a mile until you get to Harris Rd. Turn left on Harris Rd., go a short distance, and pull into his driveways on your left. It’s best not to park in the street or on the yards of his neighbors.

    Those who wish to join RRISCC officially by paying the annual dues amount of $10.00 can do so for the fiscal year September 1, 2004 through August 31, 2005 by sending a check to Henry Hamlin.  His address can be found here.  The advantages are that dues-paying members are entitled to a 10% or 15% discount at area outdoor stores, such as Snow Country, EMS and Get Out and Stay Out.  Also, dues-paying members can borrow the library materials belonging to the club and Stu Milligan listed here.  A membership card will be mailed to you.

    See you on the 13th.

    2025-2026 Year Meetings

  • May 2002 Meeting

    Kerstin Gunter on rock climbs she did while in Joshua Tree National Park east of Los Angeles, California and in Yosemite National Park east of San Francisco, California

    The May 13th meeting  will be held at the home of Charles & Sara Sabatine.  Kerstin Gunter will present several rock climbs she did while in Joshua Tree National Park east of Los Angeles, California and in Yosemite National Park east of San Francisco, California.  Kerstin will shortly provide further details about her climbing endeavors, so do come back to visit this page later.  For you rock hounds, this will be a must, since both these sites are havens for ultimate rock climbing routes.

    Prior to Kerstin’s presentation, we will have our most important business meeting of the year – the election of our corporation’s officers, including the president, vice president and treasurer.  Not showing up may be dangerous, since you may be nominated for one of these offices.  Ask Henry Hamlin about that.  Just kidding, that shouldn’t happen, but it may!  If you are unable to attend the meeting and you are a paid-dues member for September 2001 thru August 2002, you may submit a vote for each officer in advance of the meeting. Nominations will be solicted by way of e-mail and they will be posted here shortly.  I, Stu Milligan, am currently serving as president, Frank Cabron is serving as vice president and Henry Hamlin is serving as treasurer. Voting may only be done by written ballot or by written e-mail, according to our by-laws.   Click here to read our present by-laws.

    Hope you’ll be able to be there.

    Directions to their place

    Their home is at 7132 Boughton Rd., Victor, NY.
     

    From Rt. 96 in the town of Victor:  turn south on Rt. 444 and follow it about 3.75 miles (go straight through the  4-way stop at Boughton Hill Road — that’s NOT their road) to the intersection with Rice Road on the left and  Boughton Road on the right.  The road sign currently says _oughton Rd.  Turn right, and they’ll be the second house on the right (immediately after Parkview Golf course).
