Please note the day change for this meeting. Mark your calendar now!

PRESIDENT’S NOTE

Club members: This Club needs more than registration money to operate; such as building trails, insurance, etc. We know we can’t keep raising money without the membership help doing the little things, such as parking cars where we gross $2500. and netted $1850., but this is a lot of work for the same 10 or 12 people six days straight and our $35.00 “225 ticket” raffle, it’s better odds than scratch off’s and a hell of good party on September 6th. Think about it, please sign up to help.
