Special 5th Saturday Game Day and Cookout in Torrance (Update)

August 30, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 8:00 pm
We have a 5th Saturday coming up this month on August 30th.  Apex Fasteners will not be available to meet at that day.  So we’re going to try something completely different:
Dan Plachta recently remodeled his entire back yard, including a patio and barbecue, and has offered to open his home for the day.  We’re going to take him up on his offer.  We’re going to combine this with a summer cookout (not to be confused with the Burning Wreck Barbecue coming this fall).
Here’s what you need to know:
When: Saturday, August 30th, 11:00 AM
Where: Dan Plachta’s house
             22955 Walnut Street
             Torrance, CA 90501
Cost: $10 per person
RSVP by Wednesday, August 27th
Format: We’re going to meet at Dan’s house at 11:00 AM and pair up for games as usual.  We will being playing inside, and Dan and I will make sure we have enough tables and chairs.  We will adjourn in the early afternoon for lunch in the back yard.  Nothing fancy: hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, soda, etc., typical summer cookout stuff.  We’ll then resume playing and plan to wrap up in the early evening, as usual.  You can pay your $10 when you arrive.
I want to keep this as simple as possible, but because there’s food involved, we’re going to need a head-count a few days in advance.  If you wish to attend, please drop me an email (jfaikens@verizon.net) or text (760-217-1992) by Wednesday evening, and let me know you’re coming.  As of today, the following members are signed up:

Jim Aikens
Dan Plachta
Dave Nicholas
Blair Bellamy
Fen Yan
John Lehman
Peter Strand
Remember, get those RSVP’s in by Wednesday.  I hope you can join us!
