First annual appreciation collection Thank You!

[ChevyKev]

A while back, Nate had a thread that said PM me. The idea was presented to him to take a collection from members and give it to a club member that has given a lot to the club in the previous year to show the club's appreciation.

When Nate told me what the club had done, and that people had suggested I receive it, I didn't know quite what to think. I do feel I had given a lot to the club, but I also know there are several others who have also given a lot. And this right after a dozen of you spent the day helping me get rid of some of the stuff in my yard!

I want to say THANK YOU.
In actuallity, it couldn't have come at a better time for me and my family.
I told Nate that I was glad it was the first annual - or else I might not have been willing to accept it.

Of course, the idea isn't to give of your time and efforts expecting a return. However, it is nice to be appreciated and also it is cool to be able to show your appreciation. I look forward to giving next year to theis effort!

Thanks again, all who gave - and to those who wanted to but couldn't at the time. Again - this is an incredible club to be a part of. Thanks doesn't cover it. You guys (and gals) are great.
