IRON MIKE showed an example of the custom banners that are available under shopping and very reasonably priced. Trophys and awards were given to the Caravan leaders from different regions based on who started the Thread. Also Included was a trophy for who drove the farthest, given to Terry from Alaska.

Two sweatshirts given away by random number guess.

Adjourned @ 11:30 to have a group photo taken.

I make a motion to accept minutes as posted!
Thanx Jane!

I'll second that.   Good job.

I'm in it as well.  Third motion here.  

Banners and dash plaques still available.  

Correction:
IRON MIKE is Iron82.
Everything else looks good.

  Minutes are in order - great job Jane ( and none of that blode c***) Probabnly be a good idea to reprint these minutes in the next issue of Shark Bytes for all to read.

Great job!!
