From: "David R. Hartwig" Subject: BB: KODACHROME!!! Date: 13 Apr 2004 21:19:17 -0600 Hey, HI! I don't know about all of you out there but, I'm almost done with my taxes and definitely READY for a break..... which brings me to: THE SPRING BREAKOUT To be held at Kodachrome State Park the weekend after next.... April 23, 24, and 25 (if I can read my calendar correctly -- after all, I've been working on taxes for a while now).... The club is covering the cost of camping and Saturday night pizza, assuming somebody shows up with a four wheeled vehicle so we can carry pizza back to camp.... So, plan on showing up... getting out for some great rides, and have some fun. See you all there.... and if you're looking for somebody to ride with, drop on note here and see who you can pair-up with. DOUBLE CHECK THE LAST STINGER FOR FULL DETAILS!!!! **************************************************************** The Beehive Beemers Internet Mailing List http://www.beehive-beemers.org **************************************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DNA Subject: BB: Fwd: (no subject) Date: 17 Apr 2004 06:27:22 -0700 (PDT) --0-2078909122-1082208442=:57308 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Id: Content-Disposition: inline Note: forwarded message attached. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
