MARFC Sends Thanks!

I personally want to send a shout out to all the first responders who day in and day out are on the front lines and continue to do their jobs at the highest level possible and who are working very hard to help us all during this worldwide health crisis. Not just the police, fire and ambulance workers along with all those in the health care system but, those who are working to keep our lives as safe as possible like workers who are at the grocery stores, truckers, pharmacies, and others who are still working to see we try to make it through these trying days. I too have family members who are in the health care field and they are all doing their jobs and hoping & praying it will get over soon so they can return to our family safe and sound. So, if you do have to venture out and take care of things please let them know that you are thankful to them for continuing to do their jobs during this pandemic. If you need to go out to take care of elderly loved one’s or to get groceries, please be sure to take all the precautions necessary to do so. Make sure you do what you can to stay safe and if you don’t need to get out please stay at home as much as you can to help this thing get over so we can return to a normal life like we once hand before all this.

May the Lord Bless & Keep Us All! Bill Barnhart MARFC President

Report on MARFC Bowling Event for March 2020!

Even with the way things were going throughout the world we were able to continue with our 3rd Annual Bowling event at the Capitol Lanes in Owosso, MI. All the bowlers who showed up had a great time. Many thanks to all who donated items and their time to help support this event is priceless. After the meeting we held a short awards ceremony and then held our general meeting. We had two guest speakers first was Dale Spencer a racer from the Owosso Speedway who helps with the Racers for Miracles foundation to help children who have cancer issues. Then Bud Gray who now owns and promotes the new Midwest Modified Tour talked about the special races set up for the 2020 season. Bowling Tournament awards winners were: Men’s High Score: Dan Stewart, Women’s High Score: Susan Lightner, Team High Score: Dan Stewart & Chuck Washburn Sr., The Greg Yost Never Give Up Award went to Cheyanne Darling and the Chris Throgmartin Spirt Award was given to I-96 Speedway promoter Jeff Dice. A special couple of raffles winners were Junior Gokee and Dan Stewart who received and MARFC Bag and a Speedway Gas Gift Card.
