6 2007 Spring Kick-off April 28th Okemos Auto Collection Motor-Stadt would like to thank all who participated in this years Spring Kick-Off. It was a huge success. For the first time in a very long time we were able to have a fund raiser that supported a charity outside of our own club. We were able to donate $ to The Children s Miracle Network. This is a great testament to the direction our club is heading in. We would also like to thank all of those who donated items to our auction. The auction is quickly becoming more than just a white elephant event. With many local businesses donating quality items and services. We would like to thank specifically Okemos Auto Collection for the use of their facility and the great items and services for the auction. Medewar Jewelers for the beautiful earrings. O donnels for the Lift time and tech inspection. Framers Edge for the three framing gift certificates. Showroom Shine for the gift certificates. Sunny Side Restaurant for the gift certificate. With donations from businesses like these it is no wonder that our auction is growing and so is our club. Thanks Again. Congratulations are in order to our Concours winners. In First place was Karl Haug and his new 2007 GT3. In Second place was Bill Shellburg with his In Third was Bill Campbell with his See you next year and remember keep the rubber to the road.
