Winter Break
Ridgerunners’ normal schedule of monthly meetings goes on pause over the winter holidays. After a wonderful presentation by Bill Cagle earlier this month about the development of the local marble industry and its connection to the construction of the Federal Hwy, the next regular meeting will not be held until February 14th at the Big Canoe Clubhouse. At that meeting, Jan Murphy will introduce us to our neighboring mountains.
