CREPAC Trustees and IMPAC Trustees gave an update on their activities. All is well with both groups!

Vice Chair Sharon Bowler shared her "Get Free Gas" Contest with the group.  Further, she reported that we have 8 Regions at 100% and we have 39 local AORs at 100%...She encouraged all members to get their Regions to be 100% by October 2008.

Vice Chair John Cribb reminded the group about the C.A.R. statewide RAF contest where you have the opportunity to win $7500 towards the lease of a luxury car OR $7500 in CASH!  If you have already contributed $197 in 2008, then you are already entered into the contest!
