- George Tabor asked for volunteers who had convertibles to help Spanish Springs
High School with their Home Coming to be held next Friday, Sept. 17th.
He said that cars were needed to transport the homecoming queen and her court

this but as of today's date they had not confirmed. George then told the
school that the Reno Jaguar Club would step up and help out these kids! Four or
five cars will be needed. George said that he should know on Monday, Sept. 13th if we are needed or not. George is working on incentives.
Volunteers/cars are asked to be at Spanish Springs High School by 6:30 PM and

those messages but there will be a delay in his reply.
