Many, Many Thanks to all the members who donated merchandise as prizes for the contests and raffle. We need to make a special mention and apologize to Jim "millerized" Miller - it seems that in the chaos of the prize giveaway, he was neglected to be mentioned and thanked as the manufacturer and provider of the Millerized highway pegs given away as a prize.
