Atons Rush Party 2012

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Atons Rush Party 2012 on May 5th. Despite the heavy rain, we had a very nice afternoon of food, drinks, and good company. We received three new associate applications after the party, along with three new pledge applications.

If you have thought about joining the Atons, it's not to late. The Rush Party isn't the only chance to get to know the club. Join us at our upcoming L&L dinners, Bar Nights, or at the Atons Run in July.

Officers Banquet 2012

Thank you to everyone who attended our annual Atons' Officers Installation Banquet on Sunday. Forty-five of our leather brothers and sisters joined us in kicking off our fortieth anniversary celebration year.

Thank you to Richard Carlbom, from Minnesotans United for All Families, who spoke to us about the upcoming Marriage Amendment vote. Congratulations to our 2012 Friends of the Atons, Daniel Hennagir and Seth Iverson, along with our 2012 Associate Excellence Award recipients Rich Hunt & Jodi Fritsche and Bud Lile & Randy Ingram.

In recognition for his outstanding community work in helping to produce the Gear Nights at the Bolt Underground, and for working to foster a safe space for young leathermen, the Atons awarded a gift of leather to Derek Harley. Derek received a flattering garrison cap with yellow piping.

Sunday's banquet was just the beginning of the Atons' fortieth anniversary year.
