Thunder Roads Magazine of Oklahoma/Arkansas December 2014 Issue 5 Volume 13 | Page 4

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Ho! Ho! Ho! Someone please tell me how I went from preparing for the Jeff Williams Show 10 months ago to today in about 30 seconds! My goodness, did we ever have a fantastic year here at Thunder Roads Magazine OK/AR. It was simply incredible and I couldn’t be happier to have been able to bring all of you so MANY fabulous articles, photos, videos, media blitz, social media, travel, sites, bikes, people, who’s who and so much more! Watch for a full review in the January issue. As for now, let’s get our long johns on, our ear muffs, mittens and boots and cover all that up with leathers for some toy runs! This time of year brings us so many opportunities to give. Remember that while children love toys and toy runs are abundant now, there are many children who will go hungry over the holidays as their schools are closed and cannot provide the very needed food sacks. Kickin’ Childhood Hunger is an organization put together by Forman Harley-Davidson, Kicker, Oklahoma Closing, Stillwater Mill, Wheeldock and Thunder Roads Magazine to meet their needs in North Central Oklahoma. Thus far we’ve been able to give out over $30,000 to the local communities for food sack programs already in existence or for seed money to begin. We were also able to approve additional program requests that specifically meet the holiday break food sack needs of these kids. We have all felt so blessed by the outpouring of support we’ve had doing this project this year. If you’d like to donate funds to this cause, Mail to Kickin’ Childhood Hunger, 3512 S Boomer, Stillwater, OK 74074. If you’re able, please don’t forget the less fortunate this holiday, by donating to a cause in your area. I hope you enjoy some of the extra cool stuff in this month’s issue. We have a few little surprises that I think you’ll like! Don’t forget the reason for the season! Around here’s it’s Jesus and I’m not afraid to state what I believe in. If you disagree, that’s ok because many have died for you and I to have that freedom of religion. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!
