Discussion: Blackhawk will not be a WKA event as there are others on their docket that same weekend.
Gingerman will be a RVKC event

We still need to send transponders to AMB

We need to contact BHF to see if the club can hold a pig roast. Mike will check. The event should be a RVKC event only. We should title it something: The Last Fling, Thank you or ??
