From Jim Ezell:
I need someone interested in doing some videos for the sponsors. We have an elevated demand for extra publicity this year if we can put some things together. There is a tremendous opportunity to get out the word with still shots and videos to the gold sponsors this year.
From Kay Lefler:
Mark your calendar for Wednesday, November 2nd – come and eat breakfast at our CTC Pod camp. We’ll start serving at 8am and quit when the last piece of bacon or sausage is gone!! We’ll be serving up breakfast rolls-ups and have breakfast drinks on hand to get your morning started right! Donations raised will go to the Scholarship Fund. Look for our Central Texas Chili banner – we’re easy to find across from the Old 320.
