The ATV Club has many sponsors. I feel as President we need to help those sponsors.
Let them know you are from the Club when you do business with them. Getting groups
together for race tracks, restaurants, BBQ’s lets them know you are supporting them.
So in order to keep getting donations from these sponsors we need to show our support.
Steve
