This meeting was a trip to the Butte County Dump

 

FUTURE MEETINGS:

October 2nd:  Dan Davis at the Dump.   October 9th:  No Meeting.  Columbus Day travel day.   October 16th:  Mike Wacker will present Anthony Watts   October 22nd (Monday):  Monday Night Football at Mountain Mike’s.  The Paradise Club will visit.   October 30th: Chris Hatch   January 29th:  Dar Meyer will present  Kim Schafer, daughter of Walt Schafer.

 

The meeting at the Butte County Dump opened with a presentation by Bill.  Using an aerial map he explained the dump operations.  He explained the lining of the dump to prevent water from entering the ground water.  He described the recovery of methane gas and future plans to use it.  Following his presentation the members were taken on a walk to the current pit where Bill point out what he had been talking about.  Then we walked to the “flare” where the methane gas is burned off.  This is really a complicated computer operation. 

 

Following the tour, we had pizza for dinner, arranged by Dan Davis.

 

President Daryl Polk then opened the meeting and offered Tom Vanella the opportunity to auction the Grinder.  First Tom described the various trips he had been on and the purchase of a new motor home, all of which were protected by the Grinder.  Tom then auctioned the Grinder.  Bidding started slow but Bruce Miller finally got it for $60.00.  That was it for the meeting.

 

NEXT MEETING

 

NOW PAY ATTENTION TO THIS.  There is no meeting next week.  Monday is a Holiday, so we do not meet on Tuesday.  The next meeting is at the Butte Creek Country Club  on October 16, 2007.  Mike Wacker will present Anthony Watts.
