Hamilton's Ballroom was set up beautifully with
our Auction Items on display.
Our guest speaker was John Hark from Hannibal, MO
This is my Brother-in-law standing (our Auctioneer) and setting is my Mother &
Father-in-law.
I am not going to name everyone at the tables but I will tell you that we have
people here from Texas, Virginia, Michigan, Louisiana, Kansas, Missouri and
Illinois.
We had guest from GWRRA (Gold Wing Road Riders
Association) out of Springfield, Illinois, Decatur, Illinois and Springfield,
Missouri. We also had guest from the Central Illinois Honda Riders
Jacksonville, Illinois Chapter 15.
Ed Tokarz is our only 3 time member
of the All the Way Gang
and his wife Ann is a 2 timer. All the members
that were present at the Banquet were awarded a plaque and a patch for being
2009 All the Way Gang members.
Sue gave me a special gift as she
does each year, then made some announcements and thanked all the sponsors that
donated thins for the auction.
Then the Auction got under way.
The Auction ran just a little long, we missed the
kick-off of the Super Bowl but when the Auction was over, the game was on, the
food was served and the fun got started.
