Ola reviewed plans for International Model A Day with Chuck. Tents have been located and Chuck asked for volunteers to assist with erecting them on Friday afternoon. Cookies for dessert will be requested from the females of clubs attending. Hopefully we have the plans for food down pat. Also, we could need back up cooks. Several members stated they were up to the task. We need to come up with plans for fun things to do Friday night, so if you have suggestions please let someone know.

8 I've learned that......no matter how much I care, some people are just jackasses....whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed....you shouldn't compare yourself to others they are more screwed up than you think....i don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it....we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities....there is a fine line between genius and insanity....the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away. And the real pains in the ass are permanent. Patronize our Club Sponsors
