I’d like to start by thanking each one of you for attending tonights benefit in memory of Toad and by helping to support the Bikers Down Society. Especially with the weather being so bad. Goes to show what a great family of friends I have. As anyone who knew Mike knew he was always there to help a biker, no matter what you rode, or how much money you had, he would do what he could to help you out . This is why I wanted to start this society because it is to help a biker in need. What better way to represent Toad as this is what he was about. Special thanks to Janice, Pam, Jimi and Rene - without you guys doing all the work needed to get this off the ground I would be lost. Also to all the volunteers I thank you so much, what a fantastic job you all did and to all the bands, you rock thank you so much for your valuable time. Thank you to Kirk from Advanced Screen Print on the terrific job on the t shirts that you so gracefully did for nothing. To my staff I thank you, without you there would be no more Toads Cycle, I am forever grateful to you all. Collin my son..... Thank you for stepping up to the plate and helping me. Your father would be so proud of you, as I am. I love you And finally to Brenda Bell thank you for holding Mike’s hand when I couldn’t and for holding my hand when he couldn’t. Heather and Jenna, thanks so much for the ticket sales and all the phone calls. Scott and Stan - awesome job on selling the tickets (my thc friends indeed.) Thank you to all my wonderful family and friends. I love you all Love Marlene Toad |
