President’s Note: Sept. 3, 2021

Posted on by

Greetings Everyone,

I am very happy to announce we will be resuming normal operations beginning with the Oct. 6th meeting. This will be the first Wed of the month, as usual, from 6:30pm-8:30pm.
THERE IS A NEW LOCATION!!!
THE ESCONDIDO COLUMBUS CLUB
515 W VALLEY PARKWAY (corner of Center City Pkwy x Valley Pkwy)
the white building with the large American flag painted on it at the southwest corner.

For those of you wondering,  our usual meeting place, Park Avenue Community Center, changed their protocols post pandemic and couldn’t promise us accommodations on a regular monthly basis in the evenings or Saturday daytime, so we had to find a new home.
We will also be restarting the monthly Beach Metal Detecting and monthly outings to our claims. The claims have been open to members in “Good Standing”  for the duration, but now we are going to organized trips again.

Keep posted for more details as the come up.
