If you own a Bounder or are interested in a Bounder, you are welcome and encouraged to join us. Of course, we discuss Bounder news, problems, sources of supply, etc. during our meetings.

Meetings

During the 2009 - 2010 season, we met at restaurants from San Juan, TX to Mission, TX. Chapter members volunteer to host a meeting, then reserve the restaurant and usually provide an after dinner mint to attendees. The dates and host couples for next season are below. The secretary emails the members the location, directions to, and time of the meetings. If you would like to get a notice of our meetings, please send an email to the chapter secretary Ray Fink. I will add time and restaurant to the table below when available.
