Program News
CLUB RACING:   Register for the August 1 & 2 race at dlbracing.com.  This is the last race of the season due to the October race being canceled.  Please contact Carol Cohn at carolcohn@charter.net with any questions.
 
PDX:  August 29th is the next full day PDX at Gateway.  Signup now at dlbracing.com.   So much fun and so little cost.  Free garage space during the day to all students!
 
SOLO:  July 4th event and fundraiser Solo for Nicholas was a huge success.  Here is a thank you note from Tom Sotiropoulos. 
 
"Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped put on the event and all the participants for coming out on the holiday and spending time with us.  A special thanks to Jan, John, Carla, Lynn, Lee, and everyone else who worked so hard to put this together.  I thought the day was great, from the weather to the course ( especially since we lost a big section of the lot to the concrete barriers ), to the great people who were there.  Thanks also to all the kind people who donated items for the auction, Scca, PDX, Kyle Langley, Build-a-Bear, Ridemakerz,and Gateway International Raceway.  (Jan, please correct me if I missed anyone.)  I would also like to thank all of you who donated money and talent to this charitable event, rest assured that it will be going to a wonderful group of people who provide aid and comfort to children in the St. Louis area and their families.  Friends Of Kids With Cancer was an invaluable help to my family and to many others like us.  We should be proud that such a great organization exists in St. Louis.
 
I hope that everyone had as good a time as I did at the event, hopefully we can do something like this again. 
 
Special thanks to April Schnardhorst for all the great ornaments.  I know that took a lot of work and time

Giving Back
We hope that you have enjoyed the Wheelspin and postcard these past few months.  Unfortunately to keep it goin, we need YOUR help. Training will be provided.
 
MAINTAIN GOOGLE CALENDAR
This is very easy and only requires you to have a free google account and be willing to keep up with the ever changing program calendar.
 
WHEELSPIN CONTENT
Sheila is willing to publish the monthly Wheelspin, but needs your help identifying content to put on the newsletter.  This will require you to send in articles, links or ideas.  CREATIVITY is the challenge here and the more people who think about this the better it will be!
 
POSTCARDS
Once the Wheelspin is completed, then the postcards have to be update online and sent to the printer.  The printer prints them, labels them and mails them.  This requires internet access and comfort using a word processing editor.
 
Contact Sheila Burkett at saburkett@yahoo.com to help.
