Dec. 30, 2010: 25 members and guests were entertained by Jim and Judie Charles, owners of Isle of Que River Guides in Selinsgrove. After retiring from a 40 year career as a local banker Jim and Judie launched a second career as guides on the Susquehanna River. Their services include fishing, kayak rentals and boat rides. By far the most popular is boat rides where they can entertain a family with an assortment of activities. The sights and sounds of the river are breathtaking and people have come from far and wide to enjoy their services. Jim also provided some great historical background of the river that passes through our valley. One little known fact; the Susquehanna River is one of the three oldest rivers in the world; dating back 300 million years. For more information, go to www.isleofqueriverguides.com
