health. He will be missed.
To date, the Sanction meeting has not been scheduled.
from John Rucinski - beware the Center for Hope. The Red Knights
had to pull their support from the event due to the shenanegans
of the organizer.
from Larry Moyer via John Scavo: National AMA “Justice for All”
campaign is not getting the word about the good works of ADA
Christopher Parrish in North Carolina. Please lend your support
to him directly: Christopher Parrish, ADA, P.O. Box 10769,
Greensboro, NC 27404-0769, email:
Christopher.Parrish@NCCOURTS.ORG. Mr Parrish has indicted the
woman that caused Tee Moyer’s death for 2nd degree murder.
from Mark Catlin: AMA is promoting growth, but none of District
3 club’s came to their event this year. Larry Schwartz responded
by reitterating his contention that there are too many events
every weekend, the District should think about “consolidated
rides” and then commit to go to those rides.
from Mark Catlin: no information is getting to the website for
all the clubs!!! Perhaps attendence would be better if more
people knew what was happening. Please send flyers and info to
John Campione.
