There is a traffic light at 86th St.
Turn right (west) on 86th St.
86th St. ends at a frontage road (it looks a bit like your

Gootee for Vice-President. The

Congratulations to Dave, our new VP.
Don
Claffey introduced the speakers for the evening.
Craig Walker, a representative of Stihl Chain Saws (pronounced ‘Steahl’), spoke on chain saw safety with various props to illustration his meaning. An important statistic to remember is that 73% of chainsaw injuries happen to the left leg of the operator. This is due to starting the chainsaw while holding it aloft in the air. Always place your chainsaw on a solid surface, such at the ground, to start it. Recommended safety equipment: Kevlar lined boots, chaps, safety glasses, helmet with chip shield to deflect chips, hearing protection, and gloves with good gripping power. Craig passed out booklets on chain saw safety and had brought a selection of Stihl products for members to look over.
