Old Business
Chili Feed — As usual, it was another great time of fun and food. Rod did great on the chili and there was plenty to go around. Thank
you Rod & Margaret.
Cascade High School Car Show — Cascade had their car show. Weather wasn’t so good for them but had a great turnout anyway.
Cherry Blossom Drive & Poker Run — It is on the 18th and all slots are filled for work assignment at Valley Credit Union. Hope the
weather holds so we can have a great turnout. The Cherry Blossom poker run has come and gone. They sold 298 cards. I believe
it is a record. It was nice seeing so many of the club members helping out at our stop at Valley Credit bank. It was a fun day.
