NOD ROC's at the Highland Bowl. Gary Fallesen featured NOD in his Friday "Get Out" with the headline: "Orienteering Day encourages families to stay the course". The turnout was great! There were 110 first timers! Lots of families went out together.

The first orienteering challenge was to find the start because Saturday is Little League Football time at the South Ave. Rec center and it is was chaos, but Cheryl and Ravi managed to spot those bewildered faces that said " orienteering? Here? Today?" and get them to registration. Karl gave his great intro to orienteering many times that afternoon.

We hope to see some of these new families and individuals at future events.

We had a raffle. The United States Orienteering Federation sent us some compasses to give out.The winners are: James Braun,Carl Palmer,Renee Long, Brian Potter, Cindy Colony, Florinda Cardenas & Ted Furutan. The free 1 year membership to ROC goes to Steve Hale and Family

We tried to make the WHITE course very easy, but it managed to confuse a few, The YELLOW course gave participants a grand tour of beautiful Highland Park, and the SPRINT barely gave participants a chance to catch their breath. There were a few grumbles that it was too long for a SPRINT. Next time we promise to make it shorter and follow the guidelines precisely
