Happy Bucks were offered by Becky Clark, Sam Shaheen, President Mark, Wilbur Allen, and Rick Taylor.

  • Abridged financial statements were sent to all club members this week to keep you up to date.
  • Oktoberfest is a no-go for this year due to timing and pending COVID issues.  Hoping for next year.
  • Rick urged members to be active in reading the Rotogram.  Plenty of weekly information there.
