April
flowers brought May showers I do declare!
Although Mother Nature did her best to rain on our parades last month at
the Blessing of the Bikes and our horseshoe tournament at the Adair Bar all went
well considering the soggy, windy & cold doppler.
Thanks to those who came & braved the elements and a special thank you
to Pastor Chris & Northshore Church for the fabulous entertainment, food &
friends at Gibraltar in Mt. Clemens and to Keith, Karen, Melissa, Maryanne,
Bruce & Tiny for making the 4th annual horseshoe tournament
successful (see photos)! Congratulations to Jim “everybody’s friend” Nowlin &
