Howdy Fellow Commodore Users!

When our newsletter editor saw my comment in July that there might not be an August issue of the 4 C'er, he wondered why not? Usually our picnic month doesn't require much added publicity, but since it was requested we have an August issue, here we are!

If you haven't planned your covered dish, yet, what are you waiting for? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a nice, (but not overly hot) sunny, summer day. I plan to bring a main course and a surprise dessert. I'll give one hint about the surprise. If you were at our inventory party, you have your clue. Hopefully that will be enough suspense for those who were not there, to come visit to find out what all the hub-bub is about. Lord Ronin of Q-Link is the fellow to thank for the recipe of the intriguing dessert. So, we will have to make sure he gets an honorary bite, in spirit of course. (I don't think he will be in our neighborhood during our picnic.)

For those interested in the Chicago Expo, this fall, Jason Compton released detailed information last month. Hopefully you will see the full details here in the newsletter. I am trying to make an appearance at this show, but I'm not 100% sure I can get the time off from work. This expo promises to be different from the usual Chicago Expos, so why not check it out? Maybe I'll see you there!

For those of you who might have misplaced last month's newsletter, our picnic will be held at the same place as previous years in Caldwell Playground. It is located at the intersection of Dillward and North Bend Road in Carthage. The time is our usual meeting time at 2PM.

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! If you have a preference of a particular drink, let me know (as long as it is non-alcoholic).

See you at the picnic, and Keep Commodoring!
