Hello North Bay, BACC and NorCal Cobra Enthusiasts. Ed and Marlene Mestre have graciously volunteered to host a BBQ at the Firehouse atop Mount Tam. Note that this even occurs the SECOND Sunday in July. Also note that we need RSVPs (PM to me) so Ed & Marlene can get an approximate "head count" for the meat purchase.
