CHAPTER DIRECTOR:

 Paul & Linda Whittington

    Alright Mudbugs, we have finished another month. Where is this year going? Is it hot enough for you? Even though it’s hot, we are still getting in some great rides and having fun. We had a good turn out for the ride to Baton Rouge in support of Chapter A’s Tailgate Party. We brought home the certificate for the largest chapter in attendance and Joe and Cheryl received certificates for the longest distance ridden as Rider and Co- Rider. Congratulations to Joe & Cheryl. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We had a great meeting on the 13th with a good turn out. We want to extend a special welcome to our guests at the gathering, Darrell (Red) and Dana. They have ridden with us on two occasions and really seem to enjoy having fun with us. They will be assets to the Chapter. The following people won prizes at the meeting as indicated: Door Prizes: James, Monett & Briant; Free Breakfast: Cheryl; 25/25: Robert D. & Tommy; congratulations to all of them. As we are having a lot of conflicts with our scheduled meeting dates, we took the pulse of Chapter M for changing when we hold our meetings. Everyone present expressed their desire. The majority wanted to continue meeting on Saturday morning, so we will continue to meet on Saturday mornings, but changed from the 1st Saturday to the 3rd Saturday of the month. The first meeting after the change will be 18 July 2009. This is a permanent change. The location remains the same, except that the name of the restaurant has changed from Paul’s to Olives. Come join us for a good time and some great fellowship. If you want to eat, come at 8 am, then the meeting starts at 9 am. As we write this, we are preparing to travel to Wing Ding in Tulsa. Chapter M will have a good representation this year. It will be a while before Wing Ding will be this close again. We have a lot of exciting get togethers in the making; a water melon fest, some cook outs, ice cream socials and some more picnic rides. As you can see, this is an exciting time to participate with Chapter M. Look for the announcements in the future, and we encourage you to attend. Linda & I want to thank all of you who are participating in Chapter M events for helping us to ensure that Chapter M has great get togethers and above all, fun.

Until next month, we remain your “Friends for Fun, Safety and Knowledge.”
