The Contour Line

January 2017

 2016 Punched, on to CP2017

Happy New Year to all club members.  What a great family of explorers we are.  You can see it at the meets every time we get together.  The St. Louis Orienteering Club had a good year in 2016.  We held 11 events from January through December and ended the year with 90 members.  Our new map chair, Bryan Neihaus worked with club members to develop 3 new mapped areas (Broemmelsiek, Indian Camp Creek, and Chatuqua).
