Donations For Door Prizes Years ago the Motor City Cushman Club started a tradition. They asked every club in the country to contribute a small door prize to be given away at the National Meet to some lucky member. We want to continue that tradition and ask that you call to advise us of your commitment so the tradition can continue. You can contact Tom Allison (6:00p.m. to 9:00p.m. eastern) 704-854-9865.
