As we close in on 2 weeks past the Food, Folks & Spokes, it's time to reflect on some of the highlights of that day.  Some of the Drivers Club kids were generous enough to lend a helping hand.  Jim's son Brodie spent a good portion of the day assisting with various duties, everything from booth set-up, and merchandising, to event volunteer and the much envied, personal assistant to Spiderman.
Dan's daughter Lindsey and her friend Liz were on hand to volunteer throughout the afternoon and marshaled the 'home stretch' during the final race.  Chris found time to partake in Drivers Club food #1 (chili cheese fries), from one of the multitude of food vendors available. 
The YMCA staff was impressed with our efforts and the sheer number of volunteers we provided, including Mrs. President Jodi, who ended up working right through the event tear down.  Throughout the day, we met several people interested in our club and the charity work we are doing.  They took the time to look at our display board, and chat with us on various topics.  One of the volunteer highlights would have to have been the opportunity to work the infamous
'Turn 2'.  John D. and Joey Jr. were called on to do just that.  At times it was nerve racking as they had the added responsibility of allowing patrons to cross the street during brief openings between riders.  "We mingled, we talked, we assisted wherever we could be of service and in the end, we had a productive, supportive, fun and memorable time for our club with several club members in attendance.  Thanks to everyone who helped out, leading up to and the day of the event.", stated a proud DC president Brian Rummelhart.
