“Still Cruising After All These Years”
Greetings Fellow Cal-Rods:
On 12-5-15, we held a great Cal-Rods Christmas Party at the Kellogg
West Conference Center in Pomona. We all had a good time & enjoyed
the delicious food & socializing. We even had a special Santa there!

throughout the year. This past year we donated $1,000 to Wounded
Warriors, $1000 to Children Hospital of Orange County, $1,000 to AXE
Car Shop at Fairplex (CTEC), $1000 to American Vets Car show & $1,000 to California
Wildlife Center .
