July Meeting at Dell Diamond

The July meeting of the Rogers Hornsby Chapter will bear a striking resemblance to the recent April meeting as we will again be venturing to the Dell Diamond in Round Rock, Texas to take in the Round Rock Express vs. Iowa Cubs game.  The game is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. on Saturday, July 24.  As before, we will gather for a pre-game meal at the Salt Lick restaurant near the southwest corner of the Dell Diamond parking lot.  Plan to meet at the Salt Lick at 5:30 p.m.
