The first time I worked this event, it was called the T-Town Trek.  It was also my first bike event, and my second public service event.  I've enjoyed it every time.  I encourage everyone who is available to step up and help out.

Request For Feedback
 
For the Bulletin to continue to be the useful tool I intend it to be, I need your feedback.  I need to know of any items that I should add, remove or change.  I will consider all suggestions.
 
Plus any comments about the quality or the handling of the Bulletin will be appreciated.
 
Please send any comments, corrections, additions, etc., to kc5zqm@cox.net.  DO NOT send them as a reply to the WA5LVT Yahoogroup, unless you want the entire group to see them before I have a chance to review them.
