Hi Group,
First I want to tell you about a change on the website! We have made the “Cool Links” page easier to access and added some more Neat Stuff for you. If you scroll down to Music there are some neat 50’s – 60’s music links. There are also some brain teasers under the heading of Games & Puzzles. But if you like to cook, you’ll go crazy for the “Cooking Recipes” Just don’t blame me if you can’t leave the website!!!

Last weekend was the Canton Hot Rod Show put on by Rodd Rainey who managed to get some pretty nice looking cars again this year. Every year this event gets better and better! If you could not make it, check www.BigAlsList.com in the Picture Gallery to view almost everything that was there! Are you looking for a good meal and Helping a Cruiser Out?

Please keep them in your Prayers and remember the sacrifices that they are making in physical and mental wounds that can take a long time to heal and our support can make life a little better for them! While you are at it, Don’t forget to Thank God for everything else we are blessed with!

Dear Fellow Enthusiast,
