Special Announcement

CRCM 60th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION: As many of you know our club plans to have a 60th birthday party at the field and all current members are invited. This party will be wholly subsidized by the club, including a chicken picnic lunch, beverages, dessert and a huge birthday cake. You are invited, along with your wife/significant other and members of your immediate family. In order to better plan food and drink requirements, we ask you please to sign up at our next two club meetings where the club will have a sign-up sheet and indicate the number of people in your party. After signing up, if any changes in your attendance are needed, we ask that you call Ray Donati at 1-847-306-5661.
The party will be on Sunday, August 24th at approximately
11:00 AM to 3:00 PM

Currently will feature a small fun fly (possibly a blind taxi with the wives/significant others doing the directing). There has also been talk of some other family type games but nothing is yet decided. We would need a few volunteers to run them. We welcome any suggestions to make this a really fun gathering.
