Well you have probably seen the new header on the website, which is Jakarta our headline (Saturday Night) band from the Rally. (They keep changing the header, I don't know where they found that guy!) I have to thank all those that volunteered, especially those who are not even members of our club. That would be the great folks who worked with Ellen, Renee, and Sue in the Teen Center. Scott (Paonia Police Chief), Adam and Neil (Paonia Police Officers) they stepped up patrols after our incident. Neil (Mayor of Paonia) who was always working behind the scenes to ensure things ran smoothly. Scott, a local Moto Guzzi Rider, he worked with us at the registration desk every day. Aaron, our youngest rider, who worked security every night, and I might add caught the fellow who was setting off fireworks over the bikes. Ron and others from the Christian Motorcyclists Association who worked day security and the games even though their own Rally was taking place in Gunnison at the same time as ours. The many riders from around the country, who helped with T-Shirts, Registration, Security, and so much more. And of course you the members of BMWMCC, who without your help and support, I would never have been able to pull this off. The final count was 1022 attendees, with a direct contribution to local charities of 10,500 dollars and I would guess from talking to those charities selling on site, an in-direct contribution in the 3000 to 5000 dollar range. Thanks again everyone YOU are this club!
