SMRA had a another successful Holiday season to end 2011
We began on December 3rd with our General Membership meeting at 6:00 pm. Immediately after the meeting we all drove over to B & C
Barbeque for supper and a lot of good laughs. From there everyone headed over to the Stirrup for our beer bust. Thanks to Barry for being our cowboy Santa!
We raised over $100 that night!
Again this year we had our Christmas tree out two nights during the month. For a $1 Dollar donation we let people pick out a light bulb and screw it in a socket until we light up the entire tree. Thanks to Canvas and Stirrup for allowing us to bring in our tree.
Finally, we ended the month by giving donations to our two charities for 2011. They were Angel Heart Farm and Louisville AIDS Walk.
Thanks everyone for all the good times in 2011 and I look forward to a successful 2012.
