President’s Message
 Happy Valentines Day
 Hi Everyone,
    Well, here we go, another year! I am happy to tell you that I am
 here for another year. I want to thank the 2018 Board for their help and
 support last year. Also want to thank them in advance for 2019.
    As I stated in last months President's Message, we have a lot going
 on in 2019. By the time you get this we will have had our 2019
 Installation Banquet. I am sure it was a lot of fun!
    This month is a quiet month, but is all starts up next month with
 Time Bandits on March 16th. And our first race of the year will be held on March 23 & 24 at
 Willow Springs with VARA.
    Watch for the announcements in the Spokesman and on the website and mark your
 calendars for events you want to attend this year.
