[MRCA] Proposed Mini-Meet 23 July

[Al Klase]

Hi Ray,

Yes, we have a place to display some vehicles, so you'd be welcome. 
(That looks like quite a schlep for you, however.)  13/295/195 is the 
Google Map's preferred route.   I haven't been on 295 much lately, but I 
don't remember it being especially bombed out.

For anyone coming: *Avoid traveling late afternoon - early evening on 
Friday. *Shore traffic, especially on the Garden State Parkway, becomes 
really annoying.
