UPDATED 3/9/11: Message from Mike Chaney, Secretary, Wildcat H.O.G.
Hello all,
I hope you're taking advantage of the milder temperatures and the occasional sunny days and getting some time on your scooter. This has been another tough winter but hopefully the worst is behind us and riding weather is upon us.
Just a reminder of the monthly Wildcat H.O.G. Chapter meeting this Thursday, March 10th, at 6 PM at Wildcat HD. Lots of stuff to talk about and we plan on having one of the Wildcat tech guys to give us a few words on getting your bike ready to go after a long winter in storage.
Wildcat Chapter will have a Blessing of the Bikes this coming Saturday, March 12th, at 1 PM at Wildcat, on the west side of the building near the fire pit. All Chapter members are welcome and encouraged to participate and to bring a riding friend. After the Blessing, Road Captain Cleon Bingham will lead a ride of about 80-100 miles, returning to Wildcat. Invite your CMA friends to join us as well.
And don't forget the Swine Ball this coming Saturday, 7-9 PM at Wildcat. This will be an event you'll want to attend; in addition to the fun stuff (and, food will be provided), we will also be taking membership renewals as well as new applications for membership. Our sponsoring dealer is very supportive of our Chapter and is offering a great incentive to add members to the local Chapter. For each NEW member application you turn in at the Swine ball (try to bring the new member with you), you will receive a $10 Wildcat gift card for up to ten new members. The Wildcat Chapter will also receive a sponsor donation based on an additional $10 per NEW member that you turn in, for all the new members signed up at the Swine ball, up to a limit of 50 new members. So you win, and the Chapter wins. This incentive DOES NOT include renewals of existing members - it is for new signups only. Gift cards will not be distributed at the Swine Ball but will be given to the sponsoring members after the dealership has had ample time to review the new apps and prepare the gift cards. Chapter dues for 2011 remain at $15 for the calendar year, please note that dues will be paid directly to the Chapter and will not be ran through the Wildcat H-D financial accounts as was the case last year. As such, the Chapter WILL NOT be able to accept credit cards, rather only cash or checks made payable to Wildcat H.O.G. Also, you will need to bring your National H.O.G. ID card with you to present when renewing or joining. You must be current on your National ID, no exceptions. You may pay your National dues online at www.harley-davidson.com, just follow the "Owners" tab for instructions.
March dinner ride/drive will be this Sunday, March 13th, and will be leaving Wildcat going to Hooter's in Richmond. Can you say "fried pickles?" Kick stands up at 2 PM.
Other dates to keep in mind:
* Chapter picnic on Sunday, May 1st, 11-30 to ??
* Benefit ride for the Christian Homeless Shelter, Sunday, May 15th, more details forthcoming
* April Fools charity ride to The Shed at Smoky Mountain HD in Maryville, TN. Includes food and concert.
* Check in at www.wildcat.com to see other activities, including Fire pit Fridays
* Check us out on Facebook at Wildcat HOG
I am inserting here a message from SRC Wendell Lewis with the Patriot Guard Riders:
"On March 19, 2011, The PGR Ride Captains have planned a meeting at:
Elks Lodge #2816 at 255 Shoppers Dr., Winchester, Ky.
The purpose of the meeting is a “Meet & Greet” for some of our newest and veteran members. A lot of our members only see one another on missions and we think that this would be a good opportunity for members to meet in a more social and jovial atmosphere. Some of the things that will be discussed at this meeting are:
1. History of the PGR
2. Rider Safety
3. Flag Etiquette
4. Mission Etiquette
5. The importance of each member to the mission
6. The importance of attending the pre-ride briefing
7. Navigating the National and State Websites
8. Question and Answer, Open Forum.
Also, we plan to have at least one Gold Star family member speak at this meeting. The meeting will start at 1:00 pm and should be concluded by 3:00 pm. Weather permitting, we have an approx. 60 mile ride planned after the meeting for members that would like to participate. There will be a stop for food. We hope to see as many PGRs members attend as possible.
I do encourage everyone try to attend and bring your spouse. Please RSVP Whitaker at mwhitaker2@roadrunner.com as soon as you can.
Thanks,
SRC Wendell Lewis"
