I can't go, but I can post for those who can - a worthy, worthy effort, and something green to show at the end of the day for all your work.

This is from Theresa Springer and you need to contact her directly for information (this is all I know, if you find out more, post it in a reply).

So far, she has been surprised and VERY impressed by the 4x4 community's responses. So put your effort where your mouth is, believe me, people DO notice and it DOES matter down the road.

To bad this isn't on a weekend. I would be happy to help but can't take the time off from work.
