Upcoming Events
Annual Swap Meet
SRS Tailgate Swap Meet after the September 20th meeting -
Clean out your garage/basement/whatever and bring your stuff to trade/sell/give away.
After the meetings we'll move outside to the parking lot so just leave your stuff in
your vehicle, but bring in a teaser or two for show-n-tell if you want. Remember,
whatever you don't get rid of needs to go with you.
