The Holiday party was a huge success!! Lots of new members and old, lots of pizza, lots of sweets and drinks. MINI video entertainment and a great chance to hang out and talk to club members.

Here is a LINK to more pictures. If you have others, you can send them to Taylor

Huge thanks to Loren Morse of CravenSpeed for supplying a 15% supercharger pulley as a raffle grand prize, to Barry Brazier of MC2 Magazine for supplying sample copies of the debut issue, and to Lori for various raffle holiday gifts. Those extras really made the party!!

Thanks also to Taylor for volunteering his house and making all the food arrangements!
