Send your dues in today!! 1st Saturday. Quakertown Breakfast hosted by Ed & Kathy Benner. Saturday morning was a little cold early but gradually warned up enough to be a pretty nice day. Seventeen Retreads came out for breakfast, with no bikes in the parking lot. Art and Irene Rutt were the winners of the 50/50 drawing. After breakfast eight Retreads went to ride on the restored, Historic Perkasie Carousel. I think we had more fun than the kids that were on the ride,,judging by the laughter from the Retreads. After breakfast next month, January 6,we will go bowling. Come along and have some fun. We want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a safe and healthy New Year! - Ed and Kathy Benner 2 nd Saturday. McAlisterville Breakfast hosted by Rich & Betsy Tressler. No Breakfast until March 3rd Saturday Shartlesville Breakfast hosted by Bill & Nancy Lingenfelter.

Henry Krause came up from Maryland to spend the morning with us. There was plenty of good food, as usual, and plenty of time for fellowship. There were enough door prizes for every family to get one, including the lovely poinsettias provided by our Secret Santa wo donated them in Memory of Bonnie Diem this year. The winner was drawn for the Early Bird Registration contest, Jim Whiteman and Jackie O Connor took home the $20 prize. George & Jean Lorah won the 50/50 which benefitted the Four Diamonds Fund. I want to thank Paul Weaver and Charlie Boyer for selling the 50/50 tickets, Bill & Nancy Lingenfelter for helping with door prizes, everyone who donated door prizes, and our Secret Santa for the poinsettias, and Diane Gill for distributing the 2018 membership cards.
