Tandy Fleming sent word that First
Night wants us back
Oscar Wagner suggested that SFTC
pay a large old bill which should leave $2000 in the bank afterwards.
We have $500 coming from the speedway. Oscar said that he does not
plan to coordinate an Aug. BMS fundraiser unless the revenue looked
more promising
Bob Townsend has reserved a shelter
at Warriors Path State Park for the Thur. July 24 Family Fun Day. It
should be a nice recovery party after Crazy8s
Harriet has discovered that WDF is
not locked into July so we will try to combine it with Turkey Trot. We
are seeking a director
No number yet from certifier for

us in a major roll, mainly providing volunteers and $$$
