First, happy Thanksgiving. This being a long weekend, I hope you will take the time to read this e-mail. There are currently 5 active board members for CASC-OR, and as fate would have it, 3 of us are experiencing health related problems as I write this. It is causing some interesting challenges...
Saturday, Oct 25 - a day of meetings
In two weeks we will be holding all of our annual division workshops, the Annual Members Meeting for our clubs, as well as the 2025 Awards Dinner for Time Attack and Race Divisions.
All of the meetings will be held in-person, with a video link available for those that cannot attend. We have not had the best of luck with our video meetings in the past, so I encourage you to make the trip if you are able....
