- Gas tax in California increased by 2 cents as of July 1.
- SB-961 is moving along.

- SB-301 Vetoed by Governor. Would use moneys available from another clean transportation program, to provide an applicant who is a California resident with a rebate for an eligible vehicle that has been converted into a zero-emission vehicle. Up to $4K per vehicle.

- Dixon Car Show/Set Up May 18 & 19, 2024:
- Katie shared the updated Show revenues this year (we made over $8k). Last month she also shared a table comparing Show income and expenses for the last ten years. We’ve done well recovering from COVID and cancellations.
- Dixon Fairground asked if we could change our dates, but we will keep the same weekend.
- Katie & Jerry created a list of what it takes to put on the Show. In order for him to step down, we need volunteers to coordinate, take on, or manage these activities. If no one steps, 2025 may be the Club’s last Show.
- Thank you, Kelly, Mike R and Dave Neff who volunteered to meet with Jerry, Katie, Pat and Dave U for this project.
