The 2nd annual Local 692 car show will be on Sunday June 7th. Last year we had over 100 cars and raised $10,000 for the guide dogs. We are looking for some more volunteers to help cleanup at the end of the day, please come out and support this event.

Local 692 is a proud sponsor for this event. The money raised goes to the schools trades training programs.

ONE WEEK TO GO!

Can't wait to see all the beautiful rides!
