FCA thanks event donors, volunteers

To the Editor;

On behalf of the entire Southeast Missouri Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Student Membership, Huddle Coaches and Volunteers, we wish to acknowledge and thank the bikers and following businesses for their sponsorship and help in making the annual FCA Motorcycle Rally/Poker Run held October 8th, 2011 another huge success.
