Thank you Sandra and your elves!...

Our AV HOG Ridgecrest members...
praise Sandra and her special elves...
(husband Mike, Anne, Stella, Billee & Bland, Debbie & Mike)...
for their hard work...making it possivle to enjoy
our 2011 Christmas Party that was such great fun...!

We're at the Carriage Inn...!

Door prizes at the ready!...

Kim welcomes our members to the party with a big smile...!

Place settings and table prizes and surprises...!

Billee sets the Christmas mood with music...

The Grand Prize HOG Draw awaits...!

Tables full of smiling faces and conversations...!

Thanks again Sandra...for making this Christmas destination inviting...!

Wardrobe malfunction...?

What...Hal...?
Yvette is going to get attention...!

Former AV HOG Ridgecrest Director Wade
Retired Navy...use to drive aircraft carriers...
and command and fly their jets...!
No one volunteers more in our community!

Mrs. and Mr. Chuck share their resources
at the drop of a hat, e. g., storage for a
years-worth of Toys-for-Tots toys collected for the Marines...!

Dennis is a born entertainer...!

Britt now works with Judy...
and Kathlene doesn't have to clean around him any longer!

Tommie and Clint...light at the end of the tunnel with their home remodeling

Barb is often left alone with Stan's outer garments...
while he's busy visiting at the party

Stan's back where he belongs...for a while...!

Wade and our current AV HOG Ridgecrest Director Tracy

Diane and Dino

Could it be that our newest member Leslie...
who rides her own new 103 cu. in. bright red Switchback Harley...
is giving Activity Director Randy
some advice on hair products...?
He doesn't appear to be taking it well...!

Kelly and Char...excuse me...pardon me...
mind if I squeeze in-between...?

Pam and Tom add to the festivities

Oh oh! This pair is up to something...!

Leave it to Debbie to expose what's under Wade's rear flap...!

Loretta and Barry--if she'd only let him ride with a windshield

Judy and John...enjoying family and friends...
and they've got retirement travel down to a science...!

Chery and Dale...share their love for Harleys and horses...!
In this case...the sign that says:
"Ride a Harley and save a horse"
has little meaning...!

Anne and Bobby...you name it...and this couple can do it...!
Reminder: Bobby created our "It's a dry heat" logo...
that's our AV HOG Ridgecrest trademark...!

Rufus and David....
Rufus is one of the brightest folks I know...! No S%#T.
David is part of a trio in our group...
with rider wife Pat and pretty daughter Nicole.

Debbie and Mike...two of Sandra's elves...!

Judy and Loretta...!

She's old enough to serve alcohol...!

Debby and Dennis...not often seen without cute grandbabbies...!

Amy and her better half and talented Scott...!

Kelly and Dennis...as comfortable off roading as they are on their Harleys...!

Diane...who rides her own trike...and Dennis...
husband and wife team...!

George routinely rides his trike from Lancaster...
to join our club activities and festivities...!
George appears to be missing his lovely wife...Emmy!

Teri and Bill are fairly new and valued club members.
Teri has stepped up to be co-photographer with Judy...!
I have to admit that my screensaver is a pic
that Teri took of Judy and our bike on the recent Morro Bay ride...
and Judy is Okay with it...!

Yes...Debbie and Tracy (Mr. and Mrs. Director)

Stella...Leslie...and Tracy...!
Ah...to be 20 + 1 again...! (or whenever)

Lorinda and Adam are steady particants in our activities...!

Char and Bruce make their C/L Blvd and R/C Blvd SE corner
available for our car washes...
where we earn a bulk of our charity money each year...!
Many thanks...you two...!

Kim likes Randy's "hair" just the way it was...!

Emmy and George...joined all the way from Lancaster...!

Betty and JD are from Olancha...make every effort to participate...!

Paula and Ben join in the party fun...!

Darlene and Mike are Debby and Dennis's
(and now Judy and Don's) Paso Robles wine country drinking buds...!

These are the "winners" of the table prizes...the
"Lucky-bastards-no-talent-needed-
cause-you're-sitting-where-the-token-was-placed-by-chance "

Britt and Don share no-talent-needed table prizes...
and they share talented Judy...to some extent...!

Need I say more...? Tsk Tsk..our buds...Vikki and Dwight...!

So...who's wearing these...to a Christmas party...?

White Elephants are unwrapped....

Stella and Leslie are life-long friends...
spending much of that time in Tehachapi...!

Tracy in a TuTu...earning him a picture with our lovely ladies...!

Vikki has chosen a White Elephant that's very special...but perplexing!

Vikki's yet to be convinced...!

So the creator Scott shows Vikki the pencil he's made
from a Harley push rod...!

As Stella apologizes with a hug and a kiss...
for stealing a white elephant from the Cordells...!

Char isn't happy with whomever brought the
"Monkey Butt Spit"...
or whatever her White Elephant is called...!

I can't even bear to watch this display...!
I knew this white elephant was out there for a final steal...
but mistakenly thought Judy didn't want
another wall hanging...because we didn't have space...!
Oh...woe-is-me...! :(

Oh crap! Teri's attitude doesn't look good for Bill...!

Debby is the BIG WINNER...!
And happy about it...!
Didn't she win once before...?

After the AV HOG Ridgecrest Christmas Party...
Anne, Bobby, Judy and I take Teri and Bill's
warm invitation to stop by the Elk's Club...
where Teri has Office Management responsibilities....!

It's never too late to deal with business.
This is it for our 2011 AV HOG Christmas Party...!
