Red had invited them to Barry and Carol Sandberg’s Memorial at Soledad, but they showed up early and ended up at the park instead. He basically confirmed that he’s a friend of ABATE Local 6 and is always there to help us. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Barry and Carol’s Memorial at Soledad was well attended although the media didn’t show up. The murders still have not been solved, and JD would really like everyone to not let this go away. He’s going to prepare an email list where we can all send messages to the police, etc., to ask them to continue to try and find out who killed our friends. Stay tuned!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=5 face=Arial><span style='font-size:20.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-weight:bold'>MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS PARTY *** THANK YOU MONICA!</span></font></b><b><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-weight:bold'><o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-weight:bold'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I hope a lot of you made it to the party…wow! There was a great turnout by many of the clubs and individual riders. I don’t have an exact number but it was fantastic. Since Monica was able to get everything … like in all … donated to ABATE (band, supplies, raffle prizes, etc.) the event cost ZERO dollars. Because of all the donations, we made a nice chunk of change for ABATE Local 6. Big thanks goes to the Saddletramps for donating time, security, raffle tickets, prizes, etc. to ABATE … major kudos to you all. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The band was excellent and played lots of songs … danced, danced, danced! There was a nice selection of vendors, too. The Flinn did their good hamburgers and fries and everyone seemed to enjoy them. The raffle prizes were plenty and a little something for everyone. A company back east donated a rider / passenger rain jacket … had to have been there to see the demo … yikes! The grand prize of two Padre Sky Box tickets (with food and drink) was donated back and was auctioned off … thank you for that donation. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>So we got a few sprinkles but it didn’t dampen the fun or the party one iota.
