3rd Thursday of the month: 6:30 pm potluck, followed at 7:00 pm by meeting
Location: Corvallis School Cafeteria, Eastside Hwy (just south of Ravalli Electric Co) 

2012 Summer Meeting Schedule. To fully enjoy the summer, we hold our summer meetings outside - date and time remain the same. Members often take the opportunity to ride before the potluck/meeting. If an organized ride has been planned, it will be noted on the calendar with further detail on the Ride Schedule page. This year's outdoor meeting schedule is as follows:
   ♦  June 21 - Rock Creek Horse Camp at Lake Como
   ♦  July 19 - Larry Creek Trailhead
   ♦  August 16 - Coyote Coulee Trailhead
Rain or shine! We'll put up the tent for cover if it is needed.

Guests and those interested in the BCH are invited to attend.
Please join us (for the potluck, too)!

Questions? Call Karen at 961-0101 or Nancy at 546-6492.
