Upcoming meetings:  June 15 is the Drive-In Movie night and also the election.  July 20 is the summer party at Gary Stone's.  Unlike years past, it will happen on our regular Wednesday night instead of a weekend.  August 17 will be a Bonanza Mixer at the Water's Restaurant on the lake in Woodbridge.  This is going to be a real business mixer, rather than just a social.  John is looking for more ideas for the fall.
