The club will provide the ( all beef)  Hot dogs  as well as  Black Angus burgers, we are asking club members to use the attached form to sign up to bring the sides  etc.
 
 
Please complete the form and send back to me your RSVP and how many you will have so we can get a count!  (ASAP)

We will also feature a 50-50 $10 drawing  with the 50% of the proceeds going to a winning club member so bring a little cash.  We will also pass the hat for the band so bring a few extra  dollars for that as well.
 
We will also try to have door prizes as well, who knows??
Dress is summer casual
 
 
This will be our 2nd live event since Covid ( Exhibition the 1st) and we look forward to everyone making an attempt to come for some or all  and just kick back and enjoy some  great food, music, and commardie.
 
I am looking for some volunteers  so please sign up to help us out. I personally enjoyed meeting everyone at the Exhibition ( 95% I had never met) and look forward to this event and others  as well so everyone can get to know each other or visit with those you haven’t talked to in a while.
 
Photographs are allowed BTW!!
 
Also, please  make that “extra attempt” to attend as we are hoping this to be the 2nd of many get-togethers and we look at the day we can return in some form to the Seymour center ( Bobby already working on it)
 
Bring a friend or a guest!
