Streets of Bakersfield:  Larry had Virgil share with the board the contents of a meeting he attended earlier today.  Marking the streets is going to be time consuming and possibly challenging.  Currently, the Chalk Team consists of Steve Taylor, Mitch Townsend, Steve Dallons, Annie Bailey, Mark Pucilowski, David Kielty and Virgil Miller.  More volunteers are needed (8-10) to direct participants to their parking spots.  Will try to enlist more at the general meeting next week. Tony Castiglione, with the Streets of Bakersfield, will have vests for the volunteers.
