Next Meeting:
Hello PRA Chapter 18 members,
I just want to let everybody know that I have somehow managed to whip together a quick batch of Chapter 18 Tee Shirts for the upcoming banquet. There about 30 or so shirts, various quantities of L, XL & 2XL sizes. These shirts are not for sale (hence I did not send out order forms etc this time around), instead they are to be auctioned at the banquet. I have donated the blank shirts and my screening time … and all proceeds will go to the club. Because of this however, I was only able to allocate enough time to produce this limited quantity, and also kept all the shirts same color (black) with the small club logo on the front (orange). In doing so however, I’m sure that we can keep the starting bid on each shirt down to a bare minimum and still make some decent $$ for the club.
I have uploaded a sample image to my member profile to show what the shirts look like (just a representation, but darn close): http://beta.gyroclub.com/news/kevintansor-photos/ . Click on the Tee Shirt thumbnail at the top left, then you can select to view the image with the ”PicLens” option (it should show a better size image than the “slideshow” option).
Also, inspired by the crappy cold weather I suppose, I have produced four (only 4) heavyweight hooded sweatshirts for the banquet!! They are really nice, again black with the small orange logo on the front. Two of them XL, and the other two are 2XL. I’d like for two of them to be given as door prizes and the other remaining two as auction items.
WOW … a GPS, an HD video camera, and now a couple of club sweatshirts to add to the prize list!! Very cool!!!

Chuck Roberg wants me to remind everyone that the banquet is drawing near. Please make plans to attend.
