Misc. Housekeeping: Now is a great time to update your mailing address, email addresses and phone numbers with the club, if you have moved within the past few years, please send me your current information, so I can update the roster. The CDs that came out with the Red Rocks Concert tickets showed we have a lot of old and incorrect information.
