    My very special "THANKS" to all the elected board

    members for another tremendous year. First,thanks to Gary Kelley for providing all of us an

    exceptional newsletter and website. Gary also

    filled the Vice President position working withother chapters and the national organization,

    negotiating contracts for the road runs and

    covering for me when necessary. Next, thanks

    goes out to Tom Ruttan for his excellent

    accounting of our chapter's very important

    finances as Treasurer. Toms monthly reports areavailable at every meeting. Finally, Id like tothank our Secretary Shannon Kelley for keeping

    our membership up to date, handling clubcorrespondence and her devoted efforts to make

    our annual road run a huge success.

    This year's $1,000,000.00 lottery winners are Jim

    & Rosie Singhose of Cottage Grove for their

    outstanding energy mapping out all 3 roadroutes. In addition we all enjoyed Jim's historical

    information at each stop.

    For 2012 all the Christmas cheers need to go to

    Tom and Cynthia Ruttan for hosting this year'sparty at their lovely home of 32 years. Eighteen

    License Plate Wanted:

    I've been working on collecting special motorcycle

    plates issued to antique motorcycles. Oregon isone of the few I haven't found yet.

    I'm interested in the "antique" plate similar to the

    one shown below issued to 1955 and earliermotorcycles.

    Would you happen to have any leads on where I

    can locate one?

    Thanks for your time.
