Hi Folks,
I have had to change the date of our annual poker run, The Straw-O-Berry Ride, to SATURDAY MAY 15, 2010.
This is required because our host, Cal Coast Motorsports, is no longer open on Sundays. I have attached an updated flyer. Please advise your members and update your calendars. Other than the change to Saturday, everything else will remain the same.
