Nick is pretty well respected in the local BMX scene...

I'm down for helping out. Tour de Brew fundraiser? I like it!

Excellent cause! We will have something at our January 3rd meeting -- raffle, 50/50, etc.

We held a 50/50 raffle at last night's membership meeting. Thanks to the generosity of the members of FORC, we were able to send a check for $100 to the Midwest BMX Donation Program. The winner of the 50/50 drawing, Ryan Neipert, donated all but $20 of his winnings back to the project. Thanks so much, Ryan! Thanks to EVERYONE who contributed! Hopefully our donation will get another child or two on a bicycle!

Update on our contribution to the BMX Donation Program... "Orange Guy" entered the Midwest Mtn Bike Festival logo contest. His logo got selected, and he won a $25 gift certificate. He has asked that the $25 instead be sent to the BMX Donation Program. So, total check sent: $125!! Thanks everyone!

Well, that's it, pretty sure the buy laws require us to buy him beer, now!
