The food bank people have such buying power that they can buy $8 in food for every $1 do-
nated. Central Illinois Food Bank serves 16 counties in total. Demand in these times is as high
as they have ever seen - So don?t be shy about cutting checks.
MILER ANNOUNCEMENTS
Two separate votes were passed at the November meeting to donate money.
The Milers will be giving $100 to Mert Lawill to help in research and development of special
prosthesis that gives ex-motorcycle racers, which have lost a limb, the ability to ride again. The
prosthesis allows the rider to safely operate a motorcycle.
The Milers will also be giving $100 to purchase a ticket for a drawing to win a restored 1949 H-D
Panhead. The drawing is to support the owner who was severely injured in a tree fall accident.
The owner restored the Panhead to “correct status” and he has documented papers for the bike.
It has not been decided what we will do if the Milers win the Panhead.
Springfield Miler, George Tinkham has been elected to the ABATE Executive Board as the
State Legislative Coordinator. Congratulations George. He retains his former position as the
ABATE State Legal Consultant. In his new job he will work with the 60 plus chapters of ABATE
as an unpaid lobbyist. He has retired from his Law Practice in order to make this happen.
