Good evening family & friends!

I’m really looking forward to the SC District event this Saturday!  Hope that many of you can make it out and join in the FUN!

We had a good turnout for the Chapter P & Chapter S Polar Bear Ride-In on New Year’s Day. We had ten representing Chapter E. Also attending was Chapter “A” of Anderson, “F” of Easley, “M” of Greenwood, and of course “P” of Lexington with “S” of Newberry. I believe the total was fifty five in attendance (I hope I didn’t miss anyone!). The two hours went by so quickly too.

Good evening SC-E family & friends!

We had a brave few who attended the Greenville Toys For Tots Motorcycle Run last weekend – thank you Tom & Michelle and Jimmy & Susan! Don & I sure wish we could’ve joined you, as do many others who were out of town.
