There was a fair showing at the Jimboy's Car Show on July 9th with 5 or 6 cars attending.

The River Cat's Baseball game with Colorado on July 16th was attended by the Browns, the Trimbles, Pat Brown and three children. Because the game went into overtime, they left during the 12th inning. The River Cats won. Several members that committed to go have not paid for their tickets.

Club Jackets are still pending. To date, money has been received for only 5 jackets.
