IMPORTANT Chapter Meeting
Tuesday June 9, 2009
As you all know, we are not producing the Best Buck in the Bay Rodeo this year. If we are going to produce a rodeo in 2010, we must submit our bid to the GSGRA State Board of Directors at the July 25th board meeting. In order to make a bid, we need people to be committed to helping with the various aspects of planning and producing the rodeo. At our next chapter meeting, we will be discussing our proposed bid, as well as gaguing the interest level and committment of our members. The meeting will be held at the home of Coco and Cindy Tomasulo on June 9th from 6:30pm-8:30pm. The address and a link to a Google Map is listed in the column to the right.

Thanks to everyone who came out for a night of great country western dancing and some tasty BBQ as we hosted our annual Memorial Day BBQ at Sundance Saloon. We plan on hosting another Western BBQ Labor Day Weekend, but we have a whole summer full of events taking place before that.

Fundraising at Golden Gate Fields
Sunday June 7, 2009
As previously reported, the BAC has been presented with an unbelievably wonderful opportunity to raise funds while staffing the Golden Gate Fields Dollar Days Booth.
For those of you not familiar with Golden Gate Fields, it is a horse racing track located in North Berkeley. Every Sunday, they host Dollar Days where guests get $1 general admission, $1 parking, $1 programs, $1 beers, $1 hot dogs, and $1 sodas.
In return for staffing the Dollar Days Booth, Golden Gate Fields donates funds back to the BAC. We still need volunteers for 6/07/09. If you're interested, please contact Skot Land.
