Page 2 Minutes Continued Old Business (cont): August President s Picnic will be the weekend of the 12-14 of August, in Ramona. Mark and Suzanne will emailed out the details. So far we only have 12 units registered and need you to contact Mark as soon as possible to confirm your attendance. This is our only fundraiser of the year so it s important that it be well attended. Raffle prizes are needed. If you have something to donate or can make calls to obtain them please let Mark know. $400 dollars from the party fund have been earmarked to purchase prizes IF we have enough attendees to make a profit. Linda Torrey volunteered to do the purchasing when that determination is made. Everyone needs to bring tables and chairs to the event. Corn Pots and BBQ are needed. The August meeting will be held at the event at 11AM on Saturday morning. Because our funds are so exceedingly low, tickets will be given to members only for grilled steaks on Saturday morning at the meeting. Tickets can be purchased for guests at $10 per attendee from Jerry Torrey. All uncooked steaks will be sold after the event for actual cost. Your early RSVP will enable us to order just the number of steaks that will be consumed by both members and guests. Smith and their son Braden. Branden s twin Chase needs a new heart and the family has been adopted by the Drifters in support of this. Their family has been part of the Drifter family for four generations, and we need to close ranks and support our own. We will be accepting donations at all meetings and parties. Cathy Smith also has some of the Chase Strong bracelets for $5 and many members are wearing them. There is also a fundraiser at the Chino Airport July 23 at 6PM midnight. Tickets are $25 and include food/beer/airplanes and cars. Please participate if you can we can help save a life here!

Charles will be donating 12 magnetic replacements that can be removed when not being used or the car is exposed to sunlight.
