Fred asked for visitors and/or guests to identify themselves. Mr. Ray Simmons was visiting and consequently became a member. Welcome Ray !

Marissa and Shaun Honcoop were present to be with the Club for the  conclusion of the Charity auction.

The Barnyard Buzzards are noted and displayed as a 5 yr. Gold Leader Club……… Hurrahhhhh ! Ron said that the AMA has supplied patches for everyone with the 5 yr. Gold Leader Award…….. WAY COOL !
