Fundraising
Part 1:
V.P. Mike asked the club to support the fundraising committee's
idea of raffling two scooters from Laconia
Bike Works. The committee
intends to attend four venues: NH Camping & RV Show in Milford, Autorama
World of Wheels in MA, 20th Annual Vintage Racing Celeb in Loudon and, of course,
Bike Week. The club unanimously voted to support the effort including
giving time to attend these venues to sell raffle tickets. Good Job, Mike.
