Happy New Year!  We hope this letter finds you well & warm.  Please do find some happiness somewhere some time this next year.  The last one sure had its moments, did it not?  We need not go into details but “Heads up full steam ahead.”

The TEAM is making plans for another fun year ahead.  Check out the schedule and see if you can make a few of the events.  There are a few additions to last years’ schedule.  Just keep checking the website and Facebook page for the latest info.

The TEAM finished their year W/ another GREAT Toy Run.  This year the weather even cooperated!  We never did a final tally but we’d venture a guess @ 15,000 +/- 1 or 2.  We put on a good show and had some fun doing it.  The Seattle Cossacks are a hard act to follow.  It did not get very good media coverage.  What the heck it’s only a bunch of Bikers giving the Salvation Army its BIGGEST donation of the year.  Who would want to hear about that??  The more things change……The more they stay the same.  Face it some things will never change.  Speaking of which, we had a shift in the Tenino Christmas Tree lighting.  It normally is the Friday before the Toy Run.  It was changed this year, due to stimulus money construction in Tenino.  It is our only night show but somebody has to get Santa to Tenino even if it was a week later.

The Cancer fight goes on and on.  Some have fought and won, some have fought and lost.  Some are fighting this nemesis as we speak.  The TEAM'S good friend Cody Bingham is fighting that fight.  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.  Cody was instrumental in starting the annual Cancer Run every June.  This is our annual local benefit run, raising $$ and support for those so stricken. Now it is his turn.  Come join us on January 10th for a benefit for him & Patty.  Tenino Eagles @ Noon

The TEAM will start practicing again in late March.  The door is open for new or old members to join the fun.  This is the time to get in on a piece of the action.  Do you have what it takes?  Call or Email and come out to see what we are about.

The Do-Wa-Diddy is shaping up for another fun time.  Oh, the Beer, the Bikes, the Beer, the Babes, the Beer, the food, the Beer, and the entertainment.  Did we mention the Beer?

This copy of The TEAM Times is the last mass mail out.  Most everyone has access to the web.  We will be publishing our rattling's and posting our schedule there in the future.  We realize there will be a few who will still need a hard copy mailed.  Let us know who you are and we will make it happen.

Ride Free and we will catch you……..Later.        The TEAM
