Trip to Hawk Mountain set for October 22. The club will be selling lab goggles to LCCC Chemistry students as a fundraising activity.

The club will be participating in a tree planting in Wilkes-Barre sometime late in October or early in November.
Sept. 17
New club officers were elected. Club members signed up for the cleanup at Nescopeck State Park to be held on September 27, and the Alumni Association Craft Fair on October 18. There was discussion concerning additional activities beyond the sale of perogies that the club might be able to do during the Craft Fair. Suggestions included t-shirt tie-dyeing and a volcano demonstration. Trips to Hawk Mountain and the Franklin Museum were discussed, as well as the possibility of a trip to see the Mendel exhibit at Villanova University. The club will also be investigating the possibility of linking with the Genesis Wildlife Center in Scranton for an informative visit, volunteer opportunities, and donations of money and needed items to the center.
