New Business Inspiration Field has invited the club to participate in a poker run/car show on Saturday, June 21. There is a $15 entry fee which will benefit the soccer and baseball programs. If entering in the poker run, you will receive a free breakfast and lunch. Tee shirts will be available. Car show runs from 10 a.m. to 3 pm. There will be trophies. A rep from IF will be with us at the April meeting to further explain.

Plans are underway for the new roster to be available in April. If dues are not paid by then, your name will not appear in the new roster. You can still join but your name will not be included until 2026.

Members would like to show cars at the nursing homes in Rocky Ford, Las Animas and La Junta. Someone needs to help contact these entities and make arrangements. Notify Wayne if you can do this.

Leonard’s 34 car donation is on hold awaiting an electrician at the Otero museum. The club will be notified when they can help move the display to allow room for his car.

Carol asked us to sign a card for Rose Grim who is a resident at Blue Stem Nursing Home in La Junta.

Bill Allen would like help tomorrow with painting his garage.

Wayne repeated again that if anyone needs help with their vehicle, he will find and help them. Right now, he is still on Leonard’s Barracuda and Alvin has asked for his expertise next.
