January 27th:
PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Well here we are, done with the first month of
2010. Hope you all have gotten used to writing
the new year
on your bills etc.
We had some excellent events this month that went off well, thanks to
membership participation. For those that missed some of these events, like bike
night, or our safety booth at the Frog Leg Festival, that's OK, we will have them
again this month. As you all know BIKE NIGHT will be FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, AT
NO NAME BAR, we will be having as SAFETY BOOTH at the GRANT SEAFOOD
FEST. Anyone wanting to help out with the booth, please get in touch with Larry.
For those that wanted to go to a MOTORCYCLE SAFETY AWARENESS
PROCLAMATION and missed the one in Fellsmere, we will be receiving a
PROCLAMATION from Grant/Valkaria, Feb.10, 2010 at 7:00pm, 4240 Hwy. US1
Grant. Hope you can make this one. Super Bowl Sunday is Feb. 7; hope your
team wins, but only one team can win, so for the rest of you please lose
gracefully...
We had our first time three-Chapter ride: CAN U SEE ME NOW. For our first
attempt at something like this we did OK. Yes I said only OK, due to the fact that
between all three chapters we have over 1,000 members and for a ride that
was designed to bring about motorcycle awareness, one would have thought
there would have been more support from our members.
BIKE WEEK is also upon us, if you are just going up for a day or the whole 10
please ride safely. For those who want to volunteer some time at the
campground, all the information is in our newsletter or on our web.
RIDE HARD, RIDE SAFE
Prez. Steve
PS. A heart felt thank you to all that helped make the BENEFIT for KAREN & CARL ANELLO the success it was.
