2007 Holiday Food Drive
December 16 , 2007 - Pearl City, IL

Like WOW! Can you believe the holidays are upon us already? And just think how nice the weather was last year. Well, it sure isn't this year. Cold and snowy is what we have this season. But that doesn't stop Freeport ABATE members from coming out to do the annual holiday food drive. While the Chapter Christmas Party the evening before was sparsely attended due to weather conditions, the food drive day still brought many out. We had 32 food baskets for this years give away. And as you can see in the photos, we also had tons of food. We are never short giving the needy a great holiday meal. This year however, as we discussed in our January 08 meeting, we have decided that we spend too much time and money donating to others and not enough time and money donating to our chapters cause...Motorcycle Riders Rights and Freedoms. So chances are next year we may not be doing this and in its place, be doing more ABATE worthy causes. But never the less, this years turn out was great. Check out the pix and see.

Davey just never gets cold. I mean, it WAS cold. What a man he is.

Now Arnie on the other hand looks a bit more seasonal.

And Becky is of course dressed for the weather.

Mr. Van Horn and new family member. You should see how everyone googles over her. No need for baby sitters here.

Bill and his Count Chocula????

Is that Arnie? GB give away?

Derek looking for table space. As you can see, there is little.

Scott Gerke looking on as merchandise is passed down the assembly line.

There's Davey again. Look at that stuff move. What an organized crew thanks to Manny.

More holiday revelers in the assembly line.
