Our Monthly
Meeting/Christmas Party was held at the VFW in Forsyth, MO from 12 noon until
we decided to close up shop. We enjoyed bidding on our first Silent Auction,
playing games including Dirty Santa, ate delicious food, and exchanged lots of
good company. The games were created by our Activities Director, which kept us
laughing the whole night long. One of our members jumped the gun on the ride in
door prizes and gave us each gift. We met a new member and hope she will come
back to see us soon.

May Subject: Monthly Meeting 5/21/2007 From: Director (Deana) Sorry
you all couldn't make it on Saturday. We had a great meeting at our new digs.
Everyone welcome Shelby Bowgen to our humble group. She is a new member that
showed up and signed up on Saturday. Glad to have you with us. A little news
for you all. Saturday, June 2nd, we are riding from Springfield to Sedalia for
a little "Best Of Missouri" entertainment. Idea of Rose. We have a list of the
"Best Of" as submitted by Missourians. The 2nd we will be riding to the Best
Seafood dining establishment. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe we
are leaving Springfield at 10:00 am and riding up for lunch. May I suggest we
meet at the Lowe's on North Kansas Expressway, just above 44, at 9:45 with full
tanks. Dee is going to meet us on the way. May we please get a head count so
that we can call ahead. News on our T-Shirts. Check your email, Rose may be
trying to reach you. Please get her your check as soon as possible. Now I know
this news really saddened Lori but the hats for the Ride-In are OUT! We
couldn't get what we wanted so we nixed the idea at the meeting. Sorry Lori. I
know how bad you wanted them. Everyone should have seen Bernie's hair. It was
awesome. State Rally. A lot of us took off Friday so we are going to ride up
together. Please let me know what time you are off work. I think I heard that
Bev can't get off until 5. I want to see if there are more that can't leave
until later. Maybe we could put together 2 groups. Ride-In. Keep working on
those donations and send the information to Bernie and Jill. They are doing a
great job of keeping track. Jill just got a commitment from Tanger Mall in
Branson. Way to go Jill! I know I am forgetting tons of stuff. Can someone fill
in my dead spaces? Lori? What have I forgotten?

Subject: Best
Seafood in Missouri 6/16/07 From: Activities Director (Rose) Hi!! The
place we are going is called Le Maire's Cajun Catfish 660 827-3563 which has
been in business 22 years and is reputed as the best seafood in Missouri!! I
called Le Marie's for their hours. They are open from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm.
They take cash or check only. No debit card or credit cards. They said we
didn't really need a reservation but did put us down as possibly having 12
people (give or take) for Lunch on Saturday. She said this is a big weekend in
town as the Scott Joplin Ragtime festival will be going on. She said it was a
very good weekend to come to town unless you wanted to get a room for the night
- lots going on!! Le Marie's is on 65 Highway - right before the 1st stop light
coming from the south the lady on their phone said. 3312 S. Limit is the
address if you want to mapquest it! Sedalia is 116 miles from Springfield so it
will be a good day to add on some miles - plus research that seafood title!!
Subject: (After Sedalia
Ride) Minutes to meeting 06-16-07 From: Director(Dean) Hi gals. Dave and
I finally made it back but I have caught a cold (and right after bragging that
I hadn't gotten sick this year) AND my bike broke down during our trip. Thank
goodness for overly obsessive special husbands that carry just about everything
in their gold wings. Dave pulled out his handy dandy motorcycle jumper cables
and we were able to jump my bike into get it repaired. Below are the minutes of
the meeting today (thanks Barb!) and it looks like you guys had a good one. I
have gotten some prices, etc. for our trip to Hot Springs and I think we can go
for 2 nights for around $95 a person plus $60 for a full treatment on Saturday.
This will not cover food or gas, however, so we can talk about it further. That
price is also 4 people in a room so we would have to bunk up! Had a great time
at the Rally. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants (on several occasions.)
J Finally, Denis' surgery has been moved to June 27th. Please keep him in your
thoughts. Subject: Minutes to meeting 06-16-07 From: Assistant Director
(Barb) Minutes of Meeting for 06-16-07 T-shirts - Rose did not get the shirts
yet but they should be ready this week. She will distribute what she can and
then either Barb will deliver them to the Ride-in or they will be at Leslie's
office for pick-up by members. Sept Ride - Deana has recommended Women's Only
trip to Hot Springs, Ark. There we will get the "treatment" which includes
sauna, hot bath, etc. Dates are Sept 14, 15 & 16. We all liked the idea.
She will be getting more information about reservations, costs, etc. Rally - We
had several reports on the state rally and all of them were great. Apparently
everyone had a good time. One of the members (nameless) wanted to warn the
group that Deana under the influence of wine can be very persuasive. Something
about a gazebo and a bike?? Rockaway Beach Bikers and Babes - This weekend is
Aug 17-19 in Rockaway Beach. We had a space last year and voted to do it again
this year. If someone has a great idea - pass it along. Otherwise we will give
away lemonade, crystal light, cookies and brochures. Rose will send in the
registration for $5.00. We will need our new banner to put up at our space. Our
August meeting will be at 10:00 at Rockaway Beach on Aug. 18. Victims Center -
We did not have any contributions from today's meeting. Dick Clark American
Bandstand - Ken Childers from Branson has contacted Irene about WOW being
involved in their projects. This will be good advertising for us and maybe some
free stuff. She will continue the contact. Ride-in - Support Members Ride -
Dave will be working but Jerry and Jim will be there to lead and/or direct
traffic. Monday Schedule - We need for members to show-up Monday to assist in
organizing. 2:00 we will be stuffing goody bags and at 8:00 we will be learning
how to work at the registration desk, sales desk and door prizes/giveaways.
Rose is making a large board to describe the leather jacket prize and how to
quality. Kids - So far no one has expressed an interest in having some
entertainment for their kids. Barb has several last minute ideas in case there
is an interest after we get there. Survivors Speaker - Will there be any
brochures available to advertise just this part of the Ride-in? Can others come
hear the speaker and how much would it cost? Rides - Please, Please map out
your favorite area ride and send the information to Deana. The final
destinations have not been determined and she needs your input.

Subject: 2nd Best Seafood in Missouri 7/21/07
From: Activities Director (Rose) I was thinking about a ride to Lebanon
to the "2nd" best seafood in Missouri at a Catfish & Bar BQ place. Maybe
ride down 60 to get there and take Hwy 50 over to Scenic Hwy 5 up to Lebanon to
eat and then either go on up to Lake of the Ozarks for ice cream or head back
by Hwy 32 to make it more scenic and put Donna and Dee closer to home. Or if
someone has a short schedule they could take the Interstate home but still have
gotten in a scenic ride on the way there. I have a sick Aunt in Lake of the
Ozarks and would like to break off somewhere and go visit her. I think my
brother Patrick and my sister-in-law Val will be joining us on Saturday. They
have both attended a meeting or a ride in the past. I have list of women I know
in this area that ride and am calling them this week to invite them and their
family to come to the meeting and go for a ride with us. I have a prize !?!?
for the person that brings the most visitors. I am not qualifying since it was
my idea (and because I am bringing four, I think, so I already beat your
asses!!) but let's invite and have fun. We really have only 4 meetings that we
can ride at and then the weather gets too iffy.
Subject: Denny's Harley Davidson Hogs for Dogs
Date: July 15 Sunday is the Ride from Denny's Harley Davidson Hogs for
Dogs.
Subject: D.A.R.E Date: July 15 Also Sunday is
also the big D.A.R.E. ride from Springfield to Marvel Falls south of Harrison
that has soon many people riding it - I think it was Bernie's first big ride a
couple of years ago and she had just learned to ride! Very brave of her!! I
think they say 1000 bikes for 100 miles.
Subject: A Big Howdy;
Ride-In Summary and Moving Forward! 7/08/07 From: Director (Deana) Well,
for those of you who were not able to attend the Ride-In, I must tell
you
we worked our butts off but had a good time, none-the-less. I ran into
people that I had forgotten I had met last year in Athens and made a lot of new
friends. A lot from Texas and I will blame those girls for forcing me to smoke
a cherry cigar on Wednesday night. Ha! The reason I smoked it probably had more
to do with working my butt off at Cruisin's Hot Dog Roast and drinking too much
wine but that is beside the point. I am happy to report that on Thursday I
cooled down at the pool after the closing ceremony for only a bit and hit the
hotel room early. If you haven't already checked out the website for "Hey
That's Me Photography" the pics are posted and they are pretty darn good. There
is huge poster that we can purchase of Lady Cruisers for $30 and we might want
to do so to keep with our banner. Will talk about that at the meeting in a
couple of weeks. We had a lot of winners in our group. From mileage contests to
the "Support Member with the Most Bling" on his bike. The T-Shirts that Rose
got us really looked great and were easily identifiable to others. I also heard
some people say that they would like to join our chapter just because our logo
is so totally cool. Yea goes to you, Rose! We have some new members as well
(Julie, Ron and Dana) and they are planning on being at our next meeting on the
21st so everyone say Hey! And copy the latest email list from me above as this
is now the most current one and includes the email addresses of Julie and Dana.
Cruisin 66 Hot-Dog Roast was a huge success and we had a lot of fun. Irene's
face was beet red from the heat of the grill; Millie and Barb had cheesy
fingers; Dave M. and Denis and Duane were grill wonders and I learned to work
the cash register. You guys should have seen Bernie and Jill too, everyone
worked like busy beavers. I know I haven't mentioned everyone that worked but I
was back in the back folding t-shirts to stuff in sales bags and didn't get to
see what everyone was doing. Yowzer, we were tired when that was over. You all
did an awesome job and if I haven't patted you on the back, I will. I want all
of you to know that a lot of people thought that we (our chapter) deserved the
most pats and I must say, I think you guys do too. Our door prizes were awesome
and we were most definitely the most organized of all the crews. Way to GO!!!!
So on the 21st, let's try to get there before 10 so that we can start right on
time and get out of there for a ride. Rose? Where would you like to go? Rose?
Do we have anything else planned for this month (maybe I need to check the
website, hummm?) We are going to do our nominations for next year's officers
this month so we can vote in August. Yes, we are moving this up a month but
since we plan on going to Hot Springs in September, we need to do it. We are
going to handle this a little differently this year and everyone will submit
their nominations (you can nominate yourself if you want) and then I will get a
ballot written up for August. Those ballots will be collected at the August
meeting and then someone other than me will do the counting. So get ready, set
and let's go! I will talk to you more about this at the meeting. Things we will
be tending to: 1. Meeting our New Members. 2. Thank You Cards! (I will work
them up and we all will sign them before being mailed.) 3. Discussion regarding
State Ambassador Nominations. 4. Nominations for Next Year's Officers. 5. Hot
Springs Trip in September. 6. Fall Foilage Ride in October. 7. Linda Reynolds'
Charity ride in November/December (?) 8. Going through with procedure for
Not-for-Profit status. 9. Trademarking Logo. 10. Christmas Party. 11. Guest
Speakers. 12. Other events. Jeez-Oh-Pete. I will work up an agenda and hand it
out so that we can stay on track and try to move through this as quickly as
possible. There is a board ballot in the magazine you just received. Please cut
that thing out of the magazine and get it mailed it in ASAP. Your vote counts
only if you send it in!!!!!!! Let's not forget to bring a donation for the
Family Violence Center. We have been cheating them a little lately due to our
Ride-In planning so let's get back at it. Bring your paper towels, cereal,
jello, sugar, whatever you want and let's get it to those who need it most.
Anyone that attended the Ride-In, please bring a list of your favorite moments
to share so that we can get a bunch of people ready and committed to going to
Michigan next year! Need enough to fill a condo! Plan on riding after so come
with a full tank! See you there.
Subject: WOW on the Radio
& TV 6/30/07 From: Board OF Trustee (BOT) (Chris) Please share with
your members . . . Wednesday, July 4 Board of Trustees to be interviewed on
Springfield 33 ABC 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 4 Board of Trustees to be
interviewed on KTTS 94.7 FM 8:30 am Also we were in the NewsLeader (article is
now gone) Click here: News-Leader.com | Local News
Subject: Phone number cards 7/23/07
From: Activities Director (Rose) Please email me with your phone numbers
so I can make a wallet card up for each of us to carry in case you are
somewhere and need help or can make lunch or a ride. I will type it up and
laminate lots of them so you can leave one on your bike and carry one in your
wallet. You just have to promise you won't use it scribble my name & number
on bathroom walls with a little blurb about for "for a wild ride call"!! :)
Subject: Non Profit
Organization Meeting Agenda 7/21/2007 From: Activities Director (Rose)
Tish kind of explained it - I guess it was discussed in a meeting she attended
at the ride in - about how to keep the WOW organization from being sued by the
government as a not for profit organization or if someone wanted to steal the
name and start an organization using the reputation and name there are certain
requirements that have to filled. Having real meetings with minutes is a
requirement.

Catching Up With Friends 8/18/07 From: Activities Director (Rose)
Hi, Girls and Guys, Just wanted to catch up. First for thanks to everyone who
came out to Bikers and Babes at the Beach. We didn't really make much money -
we just kindof broke even with our space rent and or business license and paid
Sales Tax. I think $69.00 was our total intake but we made a a good showing and
everyone kept mentioning to me how much fun we seemed to be having. I don't
know if we got any new members but that part of the world knows we were there.
My new BMW won the touring class 1st place people's choice. That was fun!! I
was at work the other day and this lovely little lady came in asking about
something or other and was telling the girls about how she was 83 years old and
still had her motorcycle liscense. Of course, they said you need to meet our
motorcyle rider and called me over. WE chatted and she is beautiful. She told
she learned to ride at 9 years old and her dad would put her on his Indian
motorcycle (they lived next to a track) and he would go back to work and she
would ride around in circles untilhe came back and helped her get off. She
couldn't touch the ground. She had great stories and says she has old pictures.
I would like to ask her to come speak to us sometime soon. Maybe Christmas
party. She wouldlike to come to meetings sometime too. Her husband is very bad
off and she is his caretaker so she has to arrange to be gone but wants to join
us really badly. I told her she coull ride up behind one of us sometime and she
laughed with glee!! Anway that is all I know!! Looking forward to our road
trip!!
Subject: WOW event at
Rockaway Beach 8/17-19/07 From: Assistant Director (Rose) I think
everything is pretty pulled together. We just need people to balance off
tomorrow so everyone gets a chance to play. I have four hard folding chairs I
am taking over and we are setting up tonight!! The track looks great and on
hindsight we could have down rubber ducky's and not had to worry about keeping
PETA happy or fish dying. I am leaving work now headed that way!! From:
Assistant Director (Barb) My dad has some old alum gutter that could make 2
tracks about 16 ft long each. However. There are no end pieces and he is unsure
if they make corner pieces so that the track would have 2 legs. They also have
downspout holes that will need to be covered. He said that they would need to
be on something sturdy because the water will make them bend. I CAN help set-up
on Friday afternoon. This is on Aug. 17th??? This Friday I can go to the bait
place and price fish and availability. I will also go to Lowe's and see if I
can locate what we would need if we used the gutter. My dad said it would be
difficult to cut the PVC. I'm not sure I understand the ribbons. Let's talk
some more about it on Sat. From: Director (Deana) I think this sounds great.
The spfd crew can meet at our regular time on Saturday and try to get out of
there by 11. I will strap lawn chairs on the bike and a fan if you need me too.
I can bungee a lot so just tell me what you want me to bring. From: Activities
Director (Rose) Goldfish Races - Need to check size of goldfish and price to
make some educated estimate of size of the track - Dwayne is thinking PVC which
he thinks we may have already - I was thinking downspout tubing - we'll figure
it out but are open to ideas. Has to be able to hold water and shape. Tables to
set the tracks on or sawhorse (I probably have those too)
Electric fans (because it gets very hot) just a
couple Ice Instant lemonade (regular and sugar free probably purchase from
Sam's Club) Stirring spoons, pitchers for mixing lemonade, dispenser coolers (I
have those) Folding chairs Banner WOW information Change and change holder Cups
- I had a bunch let me check Napkins roll of paper towels Official judge's hat
- vest ??? Here is the basic concept I have been working on. This is a
fundraiser and membership drive and opportunity to have fun together. We will
have probably have $110.00 vested in this project. Space rent $50.00; Business
license $5.00; Lemonade mix $12.00 estimate for Regular and sugar free. (The
only sugar free thing at the Rally last year) $10.00 Ice - probably 7 bags or
so. Goldfish - $10.00 estimate maybe less. Prices - $20.00 (Oops I forgot
squirt guns in here - $5.00) (safety pins for the 1st place winners ribbons)
(Dum Dum Suckers $5.00) So if we can make some money (doesn't have to be a lot)
and it not cost us - we are doing good. This is how I picture it going. We have
lemonade to sell at 50 cents a glass. We have goldfish to race at 50 cents a
racing fish. Have to have at least two people to have a race (.50 each = $1.00)
(if we have four tracks we would still need at least two people) The winner
either gets a cookie (if we get those donated from Irene) and/or a piece of
blue ribbon with a sticker which says Winner Gold Fish Races by Lady Cruisers
of the Ozarks WOW and phone number (Around $10.00 to get stuff to make those
up) Or piece of blue ribbon with a business card saying something about us and
BIG Winner or Kahuna in bold words. The loser(s) gets a cheesy cheap sucker
(Dum Dum's) which we buy bulk from Sam's club. So that is my idea. When we
brainstormed up this idea we talked about 25 cents to race. But I like the idea
of 50 cents better to deter so many kids and make more money. I hope to have 4
tracks if possible. That would make it a bigger money maker at times and more
competition makes for more fun. I have missed too much work this year- so I
can't set up until Friday afternoon. I could maybe get Dwayne to take off
Friday and go over for us and set up. They told me at the chamber of commerce
that they would probably put us the same place they did last year (after I
whined and begged) Freedom of Road Riders is having a campground at the edge of
town with music and bonfire party for $5.00. If anyone wants to camp &/or
party. I have two extra beds, a futon in the lingo, air mattresses and floor
space if anyone wants to stay with me (air conditioning and shower). We also
have camping space. I believe Bernie and Duane have spoken for a bedroom. We
need people to take shifts at our booth so everybody gets to circulate or go
take a nap!! It is the day of our meeting so probably the Branson bunch will
stay home and man the booth Saturday morning and probably do the Friday
evening. Suggestions and ideas are welcome and needed Race would be dipping out
a fish of your choice from a bucket with a little net and putting it in on the
track (which is a shallow trough of water) you then take a squirt gun and shoot
at your fish to persuade him to swim to the other end. Which ever fish crosses
the finish line first is the winner. It has been suggested we have enough fish
to rotate to let them have a rest. Remember these fish are bait - so we aren't
being cruel - we can give them to kids when the weekend is over.
Subject: Count Down Begins!
From: Director (Deana) Well, it if finally the week of our Women Only
Weekend! I am so excited. Hopefully, it will not be full of rain. HOWEVER, come
rain or shine, we are going! I know that is a departure from my norm but I am
trying to change my dry ways. Just to clarify
there is no monthly meeting
for September but if people who are not going with us on Friday want to meet on
Saturday and take a ride somewhere, that would be great. May I suggest you meet
at the Library at our standard time of 10 and then leave from there (just in
case someone shows up for our meeting?) The Women Only Weekend is leaving from
the Library on South Campbell. I believe that we changed our meeting time a
little to try to get an earlier start. We are planning (I think) to meet a
little after 12 with a full tank of gas and pull out by 12:30. We are picking
Bernie up on the way and she is going to be waiting for us. What is that ramp
again, Bern? If I am wrong on my time, please let me know. Also, if anyone
would like to meet a little earlier and grab a quick lunch, please let me know
and I would probably be game. If I have my times wrong also let me know and let
me know ASAP!!!! Finally, if you had planned on going and now can't I need to
know that as well as I have reserved 3 rooms. Thanks. Subject: Lunch before we
Leave If you want to meet me around 11:00 a.m. on Friday: There is Schlotzsky's
is located right before James River · 4132 S. Campbell, Springfield, MO
65807 Subject: September Women Only Weekend There is a motorcycle rally in Hot
Springs the original weekend we had planned on (9/14 9/15 9/16)
http://www.thehotspringsrally..com/ Subject: NEW HOTEL FOR THIS WEEKEND: Please
take note: Our HOTEL HAS CHANGED: Suz from the Bling Bling in Texas called me
and told me that she has 3 rooms at the AUSTIN Hotel & Convention Center
for $82 a night (plus misc. taxes etc.) This Hotel is UBER nicer than where we
were suppose to stay before and cheaper. I made the executive decision to
change our hotel and argued with The Park about my cancellation (it was going
to be $100.57 a night there.) The Park is going to charge me $100.57 for my
cancellation but that is a small price to pay for our super upgrade. The
address of the Austin is: The Austin 305 Malvern Avenue Hot Springs Our
confirmation numbers are 77812; 77815; 77816 and they are all under my name
Deana Foster. This hotel is where all the vendors will be so I think this is
totally awesome and I have been informed that we will not need to wear shower
thongs on our feet to shower. Your cost for the room at the Austin. If we have
4 per room, the cost will be $20.50 per night or $41 for 2. Not including the
taxes, of course. Would everyone be willing to split my cancellation fee? If
so, it would be $9.12 a person if we have 11 and $10 if it is only 10 of us. I
would appreciate anyone that would share this cost for me as I felt it was a
better move on our part. I just talked to Suz again and she said this place is
really nice and a lot of fun as they have trolleys and shuttles that will take
us for our massage and we won't have to ride after we have a drink or 2 or
none. Make sure everyone knows.
Subject: Vote! 8/30/07 From: Director (Deana)
Please remember to submit your votes to Irene
Ok, I know, I forgot to send
this out earlier. The Nominees are Deana Foster for director and Leslie Wilson
for Treasurer. Also, if you are interested in holding a position, please let me
know A.S.A.P. Positions we need to fill: Assistant Director (Jill Ivey has
indicated she would be interested) Secretary Activities Director (Rose may want
some time off. Have you decided Rose?) Historian (held last year by Donna
Harris. Donna, would you like to continue?) Newsletter Road Caption ANOTHER
THING: We have decided that we will NOT be riding down Highway 7 to Hot
Springs, AR as we are in a time crunch on Friday night. We will, however, be
riding back on Sunday on 7 as we can get up early and take additional time.
Just so you know. Finally, no actual meeting in September unless those not
going to Hot Springs just want to meet at the library and go for a ride. FYI -
You may want to update your email list as I have now added Liisa Carlson to
this group.

Toys For Tots RunDate: September 29, 2007 Word from Christine, the Toy
Run has been canceled. Ladies, keep this date open if you can. I am doing the
annual toy run for Heartland Hospital that day. It will be like last year, ride
and then eat. My needs are a bit different this year. I am collecting games,
card games, decks of playing cards, board games, washable markers and crayons,
coloring books, puzzle books and anything else that would keep a child busy
indoors. The age range is from about 6 to 18. If you could attend it would be
great! Let me know ASAP

September Women Only Weekend There is a motorcycle rally in Hot Springs the
original weekend we had planned on (9/14 9/15 9/16)
http://www.thehotspringsrally..com/ Subject: NEW HOTEL FOR THIS WEEKEND: Please
take note: Our HOTEL HAS CHANGED: Suz from the Bling Bling in Texas called me
and told me that she has 3 rooms at the AUSTIN Hotel & Convention Center
for $82 a night (plus misc. taxes etc.) This Hotel is UBER nicer than where we
were suppose to stay before and cheaper. I made the executive decision to
change our hotel and argued with The Park about my cancellation (it was going
to be $100.57 a night there.) The Park is going to charge me $100.57 for my
cancellation but that is a small price to pay for our super upgrade. The
address of the Austin is: The Austin 305 Malvern Avenue Hot Springs Our
confirmation numbers are 77812; 77815; 77816 and they are all under my name
Deana Foster. This hotel is where all the vendors will be so I think this is
totally awesome and I have been informed that we will not need to wear shower
thongs on our feet to shower. Your cost for the room at the Austin. If we have
4 per room, the cost will be $20.50 per night or $41 for 2. Not including the
taxes, of course. Would everyone be willing to split my cancellation fee? If
so, it would be $9.12 a person if we have 11 and $10 if it is only 10 of us. I
would appreciate anyone that would share this cost for me as I felt it was a
better move on our part. I just talked to Suz again and she said this place is
really nice and a lot of fun as they have trolleys and shuttles that will take
us for our massage and we won't have to ride after we have a drink or 2 or
none. Make sure everyone knows.

Stuff 9/18/07 From: Director (Deana) That sounds wonderful! Would you
ask her which month she would like to come speak? Any would be great! From:
Activities Director (Rose) I would like to have Maddie Franke come speak
sometime she is a beautiful elder lady, 8?, that still has her motorcycle
license and learned to ride before she could touch the ground. She has found
some old pictures to share with us. I met her by accident here at City Hall one
day. From: Director (Deana) Well, the trip was FABULOUS! The weather was
perfect. The crowd was a hoot. Our room was nice. The Treatment was WONDERFUL!
My only problem was I didn't drink enough water after the treatment and ended
dehydrated! Yikes. But, all was good and we had a fantastic time without
incident. By the way, we already have 4 rooms reserved at the Austin for next
year. I can't make reservations for the Treatment until July of next year but I
already have it on my task list to do. So if you are interested, just let me
know. We will be leaving on Thursday instead of Friday next year as the Rally
actually starts that day. Future items: 1. September 21, 22 & 23rd -
Midwest Fall Gathering. 2. September 23rd - Forsyth Motorcycle Show/Swap Meet.
3. September 30th! Anyone want to go with me to the Golden Valley Girl's Cancer
Research Ride in Clinton? 4. October 5, 6 & 7th - I believe that is Bikes
Blues & Barbeque in Fayetteville. Anyone going? 5. October 13th - Fall
Foliage Ride. 6. October 20th - Monthly Meeting. Don't' forget items for the
Family Violence Center. 7. October 31st - Get in those Final Mileage Contest

end of same. Sorry it is taking so long.

Subject: True Story
From: Assistant Director (Barb) Monday I was talking to 3 of the
"badest" senior boys at my school. We were discussing motorcycles, me having
one and them wanting one. One boy stated that I was the coolest women he knew
because I rode a motorcycle and the other two agreed. I was feeling like pretty
hot stuff. Then the 1st one said "I wish my grandmother rode a motorcycle!" My
balloon really popped. |
