Bay View Bike Club 2006 Annual Membership Awards
By Jimmy MamayekThe Bay View Bike Club Annual Membership Awards banquet meeting is always a special time for members to celebrate their accomplishments for the past season. This year was no exception. It was very gratifying for me, because it was my final term as the Prez. However, you will continually see my face as I have one more year of eligibility on the Board, and have agreed to be the Vice Prez for the 2007 season. It was time to turn over the reins to a much younger and charming person for the Prez position, Dan Krall.
In summarizing the awards listed below, I may have unintentionally omitted some members who may have qualified in certain categories. If I did, my apologies and if you contact me with any correction, I will respectfully respond. Now, kudos to the following members:
