Direct from the Director Finally it is wonderful riding weather so I hope all of you are putting on the miles. For those who have signed up for the Iron Butt this is an especially good time to be riding. The July picnic and meeting had an excellent turn out and I would like to thank Chef Paul and his assistants for the wonderful food provided. Also thanks to all who brought something to share with their fellow HOG brothers and sisters. Joan I m still waiting for those home made cookies! I also heard it was a good ride out from Uke s with several members not knowing where they were and how to get home. The HOG pen is shaping up with our purchase of used chairs and new round tables. A new PA system is on order and should be here before the meeting so that you do not miss any important news. Vicki received her new refrigerator at home so we have donated our old one to be used for soda at the meetings. The chapter will fill it up the first time and sales will keep it stocked. Keith has donated the use of his truck to get it from Lake Geneva to Kenosha. I hope that everyone is supporting the Road Captains by going on their rides. They have put in a lot of effort to provide us with ways of enjoying or Harley s. See you at the August 10 th meeting and remember it starts at 9:00AM so that people can attend the ride out of Texas Roadhouse to support housing our Troops. Ken Robers Hi Everyone!
