A letter from our President Kim Harding:

February 22, 2010

To: Gear Grinder Membership

Thank you to all Gear Grinders and Guests for making our Annual Banquet a success. Your enthusiasm to participate in the auction, raffle and bringing your cool hot rods made the event fun for all.

Congratulations to all the recipients of Gear Grinder Awards. Your commitment to our club and land speed racing honor our club with pride.

I would especially like to thank Andrea Hoffman and boyfriend Garrett Prott for their work on getting the fabulous auction and raffle prizes. The auction earned $2800 for our hospital fund. And of course thanks again to Keith, Heather and Craig Black for the use of their home and back yard.

Sincerely,

Kim Harding

2010 President

I need help in putting names with the faces. If you see a photo that has no names and you know who they are, I would really appreciate any info you can send. Thanks..Sheri Buchta
