Drive to Mt. Rainier Paradise Lodge - a "must do"
Sunday, July
12th, 2009.
Join us for our Annual Drive to
Mt. Rainier and fantastic brunch at Paradise Lodge on Sunday, July
12th, 2009. This is a NEW DATE, so mark your calendars now. The
Paradise Lodge was built in 1917 and has recently been upgraded and
is in fine shape. Debuting this year is the new Visitor’s Center,
taking the place of the torn down Jackson Visitor’s Center. The
mountain views and alpine flowers remain untouched and spectacular
as ever. Plus, if you take a hike you can get a peek at the marmots
sunning on the rocks.
We meet at 7:15 am at the
McDonald’s at the foot of Kennydale Hill in Renton. Off I-405 take
the NE 44th Street exit #7. If you want coffee or breakfast, come
early, since we need to leave promptly. The parking at Mt. Rainier
is very limited and we would like to get a group shot before brunch.
Prices for brunch are unavailable at this time,
but last year they were about $35.00 or adults, $31.00 for seniors
and kids (under 12) $16.00. Please bring a check made out to
JDRC/NWA, so we can pay with a single club check. Sorry no credit
cards.
We need a firm RSVP by June 25, 2009. Call
Marilyn or Alan Fenstermaker 425.868.6373 or email:
windowmaker10@verizon.net with your name and number in group and
age designation.
Hope you can join us!
