Gentlemen:
The Newport Beach Classic Car and Truck Festival on Saturday October 22, 2022 was a big success and we look forward to the next annual car and truck show. Please take a look at the photos of the car show and festival on the car show page. www.KofCBalboa.com/car-show.
We have added a couple of projects to our bag for this year. They include the Christmas Wreath sales for SPIN (Serving People in Need) and the second annual St. Joseph (Big Bear) food pantry drive.
For those of us who attended the Angels game last summer, we had a blast and the game was awesome! Next year we will start earlier and have a larger turn out.

Peace and love to all,
