Run for the Wall
 Run For the Wall is getting closer. It passes through EP on May 16th. If you want to ride this leg of the ride we need to be in Cruces early to register. You can ride from Cruces to the fuel stop in Fabens or continue on to Van Horn for lunch. Q22 will be flying the flag again at Artcraft & I-10 as the group comes into EP.

Battle of The Badges
Well, if you missed it you missed some great Boxing and a Great Time had by all. I want to take this opportunity to thank Rick "Cheech" Marin and Matt "Don King" Widtfeldt for all their work and cooperation in getting this great event done. Despite some set backs and venue change, Rick stepped up once again, and got this thing to work for charity. Ok, well they got the trophy but our fighters literally kicked ass. As usual some back seat boxers will ridicule, but I say usually the mouthiest are the ones who never had a playground scrape or ever stepped foot in the ring, so lace up or shut up. I also want to thank all of you who came out and supported the cause. As for all of you who participated in the art of "The Sweet Science". I owe you all a round and I don't mean in the ring let me know, I'm good for at least one. Thanks Again to the Boxers and Congrats! George E. Nieto 1st VP Local 51 PICTURES COURTESY OF RICK MARIN
