Tellico Plains Tornado

In case you didn't know. Tellico Plains, TN was hit by a tornado on 3/2.
There was quite a bit of destruction and fortunately no loss of life.

We want to help out the fine folks of Tellico Plains and will be co-ordinating a "work day" for the first day of MMM on 3/29, even 30 days out we're sure that there will be needs in the community and will we coordinate with locals as to what we can do to help.

Additionally, for the people that can't make it for the work day we'll work out some way for contributions to be given to locals.

Please let me know if you'll be willing to help out, in what ever way possible. :thumb

I'll also send out an email to those on the distribution list.

Thanks
Kevin

Wow!

Thanks y'all!

112 attendees. I haven't got a tally yet but I believe we had about 19 states & Mexico represented at MMM. Some rain on Fri & I think a good time had by all. :clap You can't go wrong in Tellico Plains though. Not a bad ride choice there.

There are quite a few pics up on the MMM thread on ADV already. Check them out, but I'd like some posted here as well. Anyone got any pics to post here? I think I took a total of 10 pics. :buds :laugh

Thanks to everyone that joined us. It's the riders & location that make these things great & thanks to y'all it turned out GREAT!
