Spoke Committee Paul Brauchle chairs the committee of writers and photographers who do a great amount of work. In addition, the officers provide information about upcoming events so the Spoke is the way we distribute announcements. (Every week a team of persons record what goes on in our meetings and puts together the Spoke. This newsletter is posted to the web and most members get an email with a link to the most current posting. A printed version is sent to those who want a paper copy.) Club Web Pages
These pages are maintained by Jim Carter, Ed Tanton,
Ralph Dude, and Becky Goeckner. (These pages are designed around our
weekly Spoke, with links to many related pages.)

Documents, Brochures and Important Papers Committee (RI produces many informative brochures and

systematically survey what is available, collect what will have utility and
to make available what is needed when it is needed. Because the Club
