Rick Dave has already started this idea and will be collecting money from the attendees from the Monday and Thursday afternoon ride groups. You make a very good point and we need to extent this to the entire Gyros group. At this time we do not have officers or a treasurer. In the past we have just deasignated someone to collect money and make arrangements. That is what I did for Tony and what we did for the good samaritan when Brian went down and she drove him back to the parking lot at PUE.
Great idea and I will match your offer of $20.00 Regards, Bert ---- [email protected] wrote: > > Grey, > > Thank you for the update.
