Bernie, excellent job on the Daytona party this year. Great people, great turnout, great prizes! I am giddy as a school girl about the WCSB Race Course I won!!!             I still can't believe it! I have been itching to take one since I had my first taste of the races at mission! As if that wasn't good enough, I won a Shark Helmut (doesn't fit me but fits my girlfriend perfectly), helmut bag, lots of shirts, hats, $100 in automotive work! I haven't won such a big prize ever!!!

I hope you reached your goal and can't wait for next years Daytona party. 10 years! It's gonna be huge!

I'll fill in more details when I have some more time. And some much needed rest.
Yes, with $6,000 cash in my pocket, I had to decline the strip club option. Not fair!!

In total we raised over $7,500, and I'm still getting some online donations from my PRS students, and Troy's WCSS students as well.
That's about $2,000 more than last year, and for that thanks to everyone that showed up, donated, and helped, but especially to All Round Travel and Mid-Life Crisis Racing because it was the GRand Prize Draw that put us there. Thanks boys.
Also to Steve Crevier for his personnal support of that prize, and donation as well.

I'm glad everyone had fun. More later, need sleep!
Thanks

Great times. Good to hear you raised so much for the kids.

I uploaded all the pictures I took. Let me know if you want any in full size files.

Robert, thanks. Again
Dallas baby, I'm lost without you.
Bob and Jamie, vido support very much appreciated.
And Robert again for the cool prizes.

And of course to everyone that showed up! Without you it's all a failure. But, this year, we are +$7,500 to the good. So, like my moto, 'Share the good times', we've probably helped someone have a taste of the good summer we have

Special thanks to All Round Travel and my team Mid-Life Crisis Racing for the Grand Prize, and Tap-Moto Leathers for the main door prize. Again, Westbeach on 4th for major help, bikebrace.com (Jay is so amazing), and
huge Pacific Riding School, Dat and Mark (www.pacificridingschool.com) for the MST course (she was jumping up and down like wild fire!), pazzoracing.com for the sweet levers, and www.westcoastsuperbikeschool.com. Nice to say they throw in courses, but it's a part-time gig, and they donated $300 on top of that! Troy, Gio, thanks.  

Many more, Tengu, Imperial Motorcycles and Carter, it's in events.

But really, thanks to you guys and galls, VROM was major in this.
The spirit is alive and well. Thanks
Bernie

p.s Kingston Tap House and Grill stepped up nicely, so maybe a party there this summer...

[Bernie]

I hate it when I can't edit my mistakes the next day!

O would like to remind everyone that won something, please please thank every shop and business that donated to your prize, in person if possible, because the deserve it, and because it helps for next year. It only takes a few minutes, but I would appreciate it.

And whoever won that gift bag from Robert, I'll trade ya for it

After I get Troy and Gio's cheque, and I still get the odd online donation, and then I'll give the tally


Cheers, Bernie

[Bernie]

Okay, our tally is......drum roll please......

If you showed up, buy yourself a beer

Thanks
