GTG: Tables have been reserved at Beer30 for July 7 Thirsty Thursday. Flyer was produced and added to the calendar, FaceBook, Web Page and on the monthly blasts.
Note: Kris is on call for Jury duty this week so if I can’t be there early with munchies Kathy Musser has volunteered in my place. Thanks Kathy!!

Picnic: Kris sent an email with the Picnic flyer to everyone in the member directory. We are currently at 51 attendees with the drop dead date of 7/11. I hope to hear from more of our “regular” involved club members before the deadline. Also, as in past years we’ve reached out to the guys at Custom Alignment and Modderman’s with the picnic invitation.

Awards Event: The year’s Awards Event is December 3, 2022 at the Inn at Pasatiempo. We will go casual again this year with a crazy hats theme/contest. Dana Ambrisko, with Emilie as her coach, has already created the table centerpieces. A raffle is planned to raffle off these centerpieces with the proceeds going to one of our charities or to purchase additional toys for Toys for Tots. A buffet is also planned duplicating last years. YUM!

Speaking of Toys for Tots, Kris will reach out to the D’Angelos to see if they are willing to do the tour again this year unless John Reed wants to check in with them.

Secretary – Dana Drysdale

Another great thanks for sending your info in advance – thank you!  Also want to join in the recommendation for our Sponsor Custom Alignment – saw some nice work on both simple and complex projects while there for a wheel analysis.

Treasurer – Johnny Musser
