We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all that attended the AZ Cobra 1st Anniversary Party. Your gifts to 'Toys for Tots' will help to put smiles on some little faces this holiday season.

At best count, we had 70 members & guests gather today with 21 beautiful cobras. Quite a sight to behold.

We were also fortunate to have 4 Marines from 'Toys for Tots' join us. I think they enjoyed being photographed with the Cobras, and the ladies certainly didn't object to being photographed with the Marines.

We hope that you had fun, and had a few laughs! We certainly did.

A very special heartfelt THANKS to Paula & Hersh for opening up their home to us for this event.

Happy Holidays to our AZ Cobra family!

Ginny & Mikie C.

NOTE: To anyone who took photos today,if you took 35mm photos, would you please make doubles and we will reimburse you for the second set. If you took disc photos, please email them to us. Thanks.

KUDOS to Mike, Ginny, Hershall and Paula for a truly remarkable celebration and feast. You guys outdid yourselves with max food and fun all day. Thank you.

It was wonderful seeing so many friends, some from far away, joining in the fun. Arizona Cobras may be the organization that finally unites the North and South, so long as noone brings up college sports.

Happy Holidays to all . . . and God Bless America.

I just wanted to say thanks to Hershal & Paula and Mike & Ginny for all the hard work put into this celebration. My family and I really enjoyed ourselves. The food was great, sorry Babe or was it Porky, that'll do pig that'll do. The awards were something else. Did you know that a compass doesn't help if you don't what direction you are going. Thanks again for a great time.

Hersh, Paula, Mike, Ginny,

Thanks for all of your hard work and effort. What a great time!

It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet so many new ones. All the Cobras lined up was a sight to behold. Best of all we get to help make a happier holiday for some kids who may have otherwise missed out.

Mike, a special thanks for all your hard work this year. Yesterday would have never happened without your determination and hard work. Keep it up and we'll have 50 cars next year.

Paula and Hersh, Ginney and Mike --- THANKS for the wonderful party. THANKS for an exciting year of Cobra activities. Aida & John-Tucson PS, isn't it strange that we think that it is cold out when it's only 70 degrees.

Thank You, Ginney, Pauls, Mike and Hershel. You guys are great. That was a fun time. Especially the remote noise maker that brought tears to my eyes.
We should have just let Jerry open the presents and ask "Who wants this?"
Thanks for my "Disco Ball". I can install it on my dashboard with the hammer I got from Jerry.

Next Year 40 Cobras!

I would like to thank Hershal, Paula, Mike and Ginney and everybody that made a good day Perfect. Cathy and I are new to the club but have both commented on how welcome and at home EVERYBODY has made us feel. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!
I have spent many years in drag racing groups running blown drag boats and funny cars. It seems that when you get a group of people together with a common love/addiction of fun and toys you can not go wrong. I am proud to know a few members and look forward to getting to more of you. Jeff
