The roving, roaming editor finally stayed in one place long enough to get the newsletter written. It’s now posted on the March Newsletter Page.
Also check out the Events Schedule Page for the entire 2009 C-O Schedule. Reservations for all destinations are now secured. The only unknown is the Fee Amount for Full H-U sites at Sisters City Park. WagonMaster is waiting for word from the head of Sisters Parks & Recreation Dept. Unimproved sites there will remain at the same fee — $15.

Editor will have a NL ready to mail out and post here before the end of the month. In the meantime, here’s a report from Pat R on the January Luncheon: (Thank you, Pat!)
We held our monthly luncheon yesterday, January 20, 2009! It just happened to be Inauguration Day!
We enjoyed seeing each other and sharing our snow and ice stories! Salem went through a terrific ice storm. Mary T lost electricity for 7 days.
Those attending the luncheon were: Rick J, Richard S, Jean F, Dorothy L, Pat R, Mary T, June S, and visitor, Lou Davis. The food was good and the company, even better!
It was decided (after a lengthy discussion) that OR-LoW men make great desserts! We intend to ask Leo and Richard for their recipes!
Dorothy L told us about some activities to celebrate Oregon’s 150th anniversary of Statehood:
On Saturday, February 14th, 2009, there will be a formal ball in Salem. The attendees can wear formal or historical attire. Other activities can be found on the Champoeg State Park website: www.Champoeg.org.
The Champoeg State Heritage Area can be reached at 503-678-1251 x 225. or the Friends of Historic Champoeg’s phone number is 503-678-1649.
Rick J has added some pictures to his neat photography website: http://rljphoto.smugmug.com.
We learned that David C has been in the hospital for several weeks. We all signed a card for him!
Our next luncheon will be held on Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 at 1:00 PM at the Country Cottage in Woodburn. We are each going to call one new person from the list to encourage them to come to the luncheon.
In closing, Richard told us that the temperature in Brookings, OR was in the 70’s recently!!!! 
(Editor’s note: It’s been in the 80’s in SoCal recently!!!)
January 21st, 2009
OUR CAMPING SEASON IS OVER FOR 2008. HOWEVER, LUNCHEONS WILL BE HELD AT 1:00 PM, ON THE THIRD TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH FROM JANUARY THROUGH APRIL OF 2009. THE LOCATION IS: THE COUNTRY COTTAGE IN WOODBURN, OREGON.
(MORE DETAILS AND DIRECTIONS ON THE “EVENTS SCHEDULE” PAGE.

Flash #1 — December NL and photos from November luncheon posted. See “DEC NEWSLETTER” page & “ACTIVITIES” page to view same.
Flash #2 — Thanks to the accompaniment of Celeste V & June S, a location for our August ‘09 C-O was decided upon. It is a Columbia County Park that is new to OR-LoW. Most sites reserved by WagonMaster have W/E, but two sites actually have full H-U’s (including sewer).
Important! Most of our sites for the 2009 season are either site-specific or at a “snug” group site. WagonMaster would truly appreciate your full cooperation in notifying at your earliest possible convenience, of your intent to attend specific C-O’s for the upcoming season.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
