30th Annual Sprig Outing
Sometimes opportunities come in bunches, and in this case we’re talking mistletoe bunches. As I was perusing the calendar, I noticed that several events were falling into line: a concert in Chapel Hill, then the Sprig Outing trip Saturday morning , another social engagement that night, and finally the club’s annual Winter Potluck/Meeting. I decided the Sprig Outing needed to be part of my itinerary.
