UPCOMING REGION 3 EVENTS

I want to host an event. How do I go about getting it on the calendar?

Contact Kerry Remp. The only warning is to give him plenty of lead time, because of printing/ layout considerations. We are already working on next month's calendar.

Only event descriptions sent to Kerry will be published in Graffiti.

What is a SIG?

SIG stands for Special Interest Group, and CAM has several. There is the Sherlock Holmes SIG and even a Blood Donor SIG! Under investigation is the level of interest for a Motorcycle SIG. See inside cover of Graffiti for additional details and contacts.
