Howdy Fellow Commodore Users!

We have a new meeting place for the July 17th meeting. The Norwood Retirement Community is located on 1500 Sherman Avenue, in Norwood. For those familiar with Norwood, it is at the intersection of Sherman Avenue, Reading Road, and Victory Parkway, with the entry/driveway off of Sherma Avenue. Parking is available anywhere on the property, with several handicap accessible parking spaces. Crazy me didn't get the room number if there was one, but the directions inside the building are pretty easy anyway. As soon as you enter the building, take a left, where you will pass the receptionist office, and go down the hall just a little bit to the meeting room, which should be on your left. The itinerary for this month's meeting is the election of officers for the next term. So, if you wish to run for office, or know someone who is dying to be an officer, nominations will be accepted that day as well.

August 21st, a club picnic is planned instead of our usual monthly meeting. Caldwell Playground has been chosen again to be the location. It is located at the intersection of Dillward and North Bend Road in Carthage. This park is between Mill Creek and the railroad, so if you crossed both, you went too far. Don't forget your covered dish filled with yummy food. The club will be bringing soft drinks, ice, paper plates, cutlery, cups, and an assortment of chips. Oh, one other thing, bring your appetite, too!

Looking ahead, in October, we will be doing an inventory of hardware located at our Vice-President's farm. Volunteers are needed to help call off serial numbers, move stuff around, help with the organization, etc. Since that is several months down the road, you can still juggle your schedule around to help a bit. The hours will be from 10am until it is done, probably before 6pm. At 10AM a pre-inventory briefing will be held, with expected start time of 10:30AM. Six volunteers are needed, which should help speed things up a bit. Just like last time, food and refreshments will be provided at lunch time. Anyone staying as late as dinner time might have some leftovers, depending on how hungry the crowd was at lunch time.
