The raffle brought in a little over $3000. $1500 of that went
to the Two Rivers Regional Council of Public Officials for their
foundation fund to buy school supplies for underprivileged children.
Another $1500 went to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life
Campaign, the Pike County Chapter. Click here to see some of our
donations.
The ever popular homemade ice-cream, churned by an antique engine,
brought in $455. This money goes to the Christmas Basket fund to
help purchase food baskets for those in need. Don Maxheimer has
churned the ice cream for several years now and thanks to his efforts,
and your donations, many residents of Pike County have had Christmas
baskets loaded with food that they would otherwise never see. Way
to go!
Rick Culberson did a great job, as usual, coordinating. I want
to personally thank him for his efforts and also welcome Kelly
and Rod as the new coordinators for next year. A big thanks go
to the Trail Guides and coordinator Doug Maxheimer, the raffle
crew, the registration crew, the people who put on the rodeo and
a thanks to the American Legion and the Pike County Chamber of
Commerce. Special thanks go to John Toumbs who saved the day at
the last minute and got us a winch for the raffle. Now I know I
forgot someone – it takes almost 50 volunteers to put on
an event of this size. So thanks one and all!
I was going to apologize to the other 4WD clubs in attendance
about OR’s comment Friday about TRJC being the best Jeep
club in the country. But I suspect he and I are perhaps a little
prejudiced.
And now some ramblings…..Dutch Creek: Jeff Gersnick – on
Friday he was the first to ever climb Suicide Hill with his Ruby.
On Saturday Bob Lyerla also climbed the hill with his Cherokee.
Neither one would try it again! Guys, why is that? Perhaps just
a little light on the front end at the top? Perhaps once a day
was enough. And Hayward Ball, I saw the video. Great show!
Again, a sincere thanks to all who helped and a special thanks
to all who attended.
---Lee Ator, President, Two Rivers Jeep Club
