SPECIAL NOTICES!

Art Doty

CASG mourns the loss of long-time member Art Doty aka the "Ubiquitous Art Doty."  Click here for his obituary.  He will be missed.

2010 S-FEST CARS:

Doing to continuing problems with  Sanda Kan, delivery of the cars remains delayed.  Des Plaines Hobbies will  make the cars when they can finally get the last of their tooling moved to one of their new builders.  We regret the delays and will try to keep you informed as developments warrant.


Shirts and Name Badges



The club will be getting new shirts for members to wear, especially at the showd we do.  Two styles of shirts have been selected, a long sleeve work shirt (white/blue vertical stripes for a "engineer" look) and a light blue, short sleeve polo shirt.  Either shirt is $ 22.00; if you wish to have you name embroidered on the shirt that is $ 3.00 additional.  Click here for the order form.  It should be returned at the next meeting, or if by mail, by August 22. 
 
Also, for those who do not have a club name badge, the club will be ordering names badges.  The club will bear the cost of the name badge.
