What a month for riding and putting on some good miles!!  I made my first roadtrip ever to Wing Ding on Wednesday, June 30th, and back in the same day.  Last week, five riders went to Storm Lake, Iowa, to look at more safety items.  I made the poker run to David City, sponsored by the J-C's, with six members from Chapter C.  There is something happening with  Chapter SE that we will talk about at the next meeting - check your e-mail, too.  Chapter O will be having a picnic on July 31st from 12:00 p.m.. - 4 p.m. at Peterson Park in Gretna, NE.  Bring your co-rider, drinks, table servings, and a side dish.  They are furnishing the meat and would like an RSVP by July 24th @ 402-884-5999.  Thanks to the Liss' for hosting last month's meeting in Spalding with 16 members attending.  This Thursday is the supper ride to Hooper, eating at 7:00 p.m.  Members from Chapter O plan to meet up with us, too.Our next meeting will be July 18th @ 12:00 p.m. at the Eagles' Nest in Surprise, with the Kruegers and Wynns hosting. It's time for the county fairs in Madison, Albion, and Columbus.  We did get over to Madison on Saturday and Sunday, wandered around for awhile and listened to the music.  Maybe we'll hit Albion if we have an evening that happens to be free.  Until next time, keep two wheels on the road.

Greetings Fellow Gold Wingers. How is everyone? I hope great. Is everyone getting some rides in? I am getting some miles now that I'm not at the Drs. office everyday. I did NOT get to Wing Ding due to all the Drs. Appts. and all but now I plan on riding as much as I can. Our next get together will be in Surprise Ne. on the 18th of July. It will be hosted by Tim and Theresa Kruger around 12:00 or so. Thank you Tim and Theresa for finding a spot where we hadn't been before. At least I have never even been in Surprise before so I'm looking forward to going there. Please join us if you can for some Fun and a great meal. Last months get together was held in Spalding hosted by Adolph and Shirley Liss. Also, I forgot to mention that Jack and Kathy Wynn are also assisting Tim and Theresa Kruger with the get together in Surprise on the 18th. Also, our supper runs are doing quite well. Thank all of you who show up as it is a excuse to ride our bikes and have some more FUN with our G.W.R.R.A. family. Also, thanks to Don and Phyllis Blessen for arranging these rides. I really don't know much of anything else so I will close for now saying we are friends for Fun, Safety and Knowledge.  Later and God Bless..Larry

July Leadership Training Program [LTP]                                     7/8/10

 

First off, a BIG THANKS to all the attendees to the OCP held at Trike Central in Norfolk, NE.  Thanks for taking the time to learn more about GWRRA and to serve their members in the best manner possible.  See – it didn’t hurt and you learned new things!  Nancy and I will be presenting certificates and pins to all of you at your next chapter gathering that is convenient.  We will be contacting you to work out the timing.

Also, I big thank you to Leah and Mike Cornett for once again supporting GWRRA by graciously letting all of us use their Trike Central facilities.

It has been a pleasure being able to present this important information while having the opportunity to see you all again.  As always, our goal is ‘members first’ and learning so we can all serve the members as best as possible.  We have had the opportunity to go to several states to help others who also helped us put on the OCP.  Now that this KNOWLEDGE training is done for now it is time for FUN, FRIENDS and lots of SAFE RIDING – yep! Had to get that in.  Not because it is the essence of GWRRA’s motto but because we believe in it.  Wing Ding was great with lots of new friends and visiting with previous friends we haven’t seen in awhile.  We will now concentrate on riding for the next couple of months – Hope to see you out there!

Now that we have completed OCP doesn’t mean we should forget about training.  We still have many seminars that should help new and old members alike – just give us a call and we can coordinate it. 

Finally, for those who would like to be Rider ED seminar or Leadership trainers, we will be holding a one day seminar training session sometime in September.  Mike and Denise will be helping us set it up and will be getting the training.  If you are interested, please contact us or Mike and Denise.  

See you on the road!  Have fun and keep smiling on the bike rides – just remember to clean the bugs out of your teeth.
