The Mission Viejo Chapter of ACT! for America will hold a General Meeting on Mon., July 8. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. The meeting starts promptly at 7:30 p.m. and ends at 9:30 p.m. at the Norman P. Murray Community Center, 24932 Veterans Way, Mission Viejo. The guest speaker will be Eyal Aranoff, co-founder of the Fuel Freedom Foundation. His topic will be “Bankrupting Jihad Inc. with $3.00 a Gallon Auto Fuel!” Aranoff is a fuels-choice advocate who will describe a practical path to cheaper, cleaner, American-made fuels.

ACT! for America Chapter President Bruce Mayall is requesting volunteers to help with meetings. He writes, “We need a few volunteers to help at the front table before each chapter meeting to welcome our members/visitors as they arrive, make change for the requested $5 donation, and hand out name labels. If you can help in this effort it will be much appreciated! You would need to arrive about 7:00 p.m. or a little earlier if you can manage that. Please notify me at ACT.MV@cox.net if you are available for this.”

ACT! for America’s annual potluck, which substitutes for the August meeting, will be held Sat., Aug. 3, starting at 4:00 p.m.  The venue will be the Laguna Woods clubhouse room (Dining Room 3). This venue includes a kitchen, spacious facilities, and a lovely outdoor patio area with a great view, well shaded in the afternoon. Seating can be indoors or out, as desired.

Directions to the venue:  From I-5, take El Toro Road west (toward the ocean) and turn right onto Moulton Parkway.  Turn right into the Laguna Woods golf course at the next traffic light, near the top of the grade.  At the gate, identify yourself as Tom Special's guest. The clubhouse is on the immediate left, slightly uphill from the entrance road.  Ample parking is available.

The Steering Committee decided on a late afternoon social event rather than a mid-day picnic to avoid the summer sun.  While this communication is going to all chapter members, we are not considering it a chapter event.  You are welcome (and encouraged) to bring friends and family along. 

Because this is a private facility, we will need a head count as the date approaches.  RSVP to Bruce Mayall by July 31, preferably earlier, at ACT.MV@cox.net with the number in your party. 

Please select one or more items from the suggested list below and identify your selection(s) in your response.  Plates, tableware, cups, and napkins will be provided for the event as well as a food item TBD.  If you're providing cold beverages (sodas, ice tea, etc.) please bring ice. Choose from: Appetizer, Salad, Main entrée, Dessert, Beverage, Other (use your imagination). A sign-up list will also be available at Monday's meeting.

Past potlucks have been quite successful – please participate if at all possible.  There will be plenty of food & drink and good camaraderie all around.  Hope to see you there
