Rodders support SLVRMC pediatrics

Early Iron Club members present a $1,500 check to representatives from the SLV Regional Medical Center for the pediatric unit. For the first time this year the club took on a special fund-raising project and encouraged sponsors to donate at least a dollar for the pediatrics unit. Sponsors, club members and visiting rodders such as the Hoodlums from Denver and Model A and Model T clubs were generous, making this first time effort a success.
