The following club members were in attendance: Jeff Drais, Luan and Jack Monsos, Mary and Ron Bulthuis, Tom and Dottie Vonderhaar, Erik and Robin Monsos (well, almost Monsos! J), Jane and Duane DeWenter, and Greg and Patti Solien. It poured rain while we were cruising but cleared up when we got to the house. We made our own sundaes, had some brownies, and enjoyed visiting with each other.
We'll have to make this an annual event!
