Our Annual Children’s Christmas Party event was held at the Mt. Clemens Elks Lodge # 2124. Mt. Clemens, Michigan with 30 children and their families on hand for a great afternoon. All the children had a wonderful time with “Kinker the Clown” who entertained them with magic balloon making and More Than Magic show provided by Professor Magic. Each child had their picture taken with Santa and received a special gift from him to take home and enjoy! Everyone had a fantastic time, which included a wonderful luncheon with Santa. The children even had a door prize raffle to have a chance to receive a little something extra. Every child also, received a goody bag with coloring books, crayons, to take home and enjoy. We want to give a very special Thank You to all who donated items, food and finances for this event! It would not happen without your loyal support! So, from all the MARFC Children and our Board of Directors thanks you all so much and have an Outstanding New Year! Special thanks to all who helped set up and take down during the party.

Once again, we here at MARFC are saddened by the news of the passing of one of our longtime members. Mary Darling mother of MSTRC founder Chuck Darling passed away last week. Mary was a strong supporter of racing for many years and helped Chuck in learning the love of racing he is so passionate about now. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Darling family at this time. As requested by Mom Darling no services are to be held but, a memorial night of racing at a track later this summer she will be honored then. “Rest Easy Dear Mary”

(Chuck Darling & Mom Darling)
