January 2012 News
“New Year's Eve, where auld acquaintance be
forgot. Unless, of course, those tests come back positive” ~ Jay Leno
Now I
don’t care who you are, that’s funny!
I trust many of us could use a little humor to bring in the New Year.
Moving on, first on my agenda is to offer Region 11 an apology for
missing deadline on December’s article as advanced training for work consumed me
last month.
Recapping the 2012 organizational meeting outlined next years general agenda’s,
committees and budgets for our annual Bowling for Dollars, Horseshoe Tournament,
Observation Run, Summer Tour, Chicky’s Booba~Palooza, Chuck & Leatherworks
www.mcleatherworks.com
Orchard Ride and our newest Office Lounge Bash.
So anyone not in attendance at the meeting, there is still plenty of time
to step up to the plate and donate some time & have some fun…ABATE needs you!
Door prizes have been beefed up substantially so plan on hitting any and
all of our events, good people & always for a great cause. Rich and Al wrapped
things up years end for the highway billboards going up all over the region for
the Motorcycle Safety & Awareness campaign in May.
We are happy to announce due to all the overwhelming support in 2011 even
more will be going up thanks to you!
Keith and Al are working on some maintenance items for our trailers; please see
them to offer any assistance. Our December 6th meeting in Almont at
Chicky’s hosted our yearly holiday get together and it was wonderful.
Thanks to everyone who shared a dish especially Donna & Chris Rose for
making the main course pasta! Our member of the year contest was voted on and
the winner is….a tie!
Congratulations to Al Copp and Debbie Marhofer, no need to remind anyone how
devoted they are to Region 11, great job you two!!
