Chapter News

     What a great turn out at the Tiger Tavern in Osmond.  We had 37 people out for the evening
and as usual Bob went out of his way to provide us delicious food and fast service.  He is such a
great supporter of the GWRRA group that he always gives a gift certificate as one of the door prizes. T
hank you to Jerry and Shirley Hoffart hosts for the get-together and for the door prizes they provided. 
We had a really fun time!
     We went to the District Planning meetings in Columbus today.  We visited with friends from 
all over Nebraska and we learned interesting things for our districts future with the rider 
education folks, the Membership Enhancement  folks, the Leadership Training folks and of course 
from Lance and Diane Brozek our District Directors.  We have information on upcoming events 
for our district such as the Cabin Fever Weekend and The District Rally.  We will be sharing 
that information with you at the monthly get-togethers and in the newsletters in the months to 
come as the information becomes available to us.    
     There were eighteen of us who met in Riverside Park in Yankton for the dedication of the new 
Discovery Bridge.  We took a few nice pictures of the bikes and vans crossing the Meridian Bridge.  
It was a cloudy, chilly and damp day so no long rides materialized that day.    Only a few went 
to the dedication ceremony and  across the Discovery Bridge that day but most of us have been 
across it since.  There were a lot of people taking their last ride or two across the 
Meridian Bridge that day.
     We would like to introduce you to Traci Snyder.  Traci is the daughter of Chapter member 
Larry and Carla Peters from O’Neill.  Some of you may know Traci as she and her husband
ride motorcycles and have been at some of the same outings that we have been at.  You 
may remember her from Cabin Fever weekend in Norfolk a few years ago.  Traci has had
health problems since she was born and now needs a double lung transplant.  Carla told me
she left today to see some doctors in St Louis.  The good people in O’Neill are having a 
benefit soup supper at the Eagles Club November 15 from 4:30 to 8:00 pm.  We would like 
to show our support but many of us have other things planned and just can’t make it so we 
want to have a poker run and try to help out Traci and her family.  Of course it is the wrong
time of the year for an actual poker run so it will be a mock poker run.  We will have the 
decks of cards at our get-together in Yankton at JoDeans at our Chapter get together on Nov. 19
at 7pm...   The cost of the run will be $10 each bike or $15 a couple.  There will be prizes for
the top 3 hands.  Deb Holmes is graciously donating an item or items for a silent auction.  This 
should be a lot of fun and what a perfect time of the year to help out others in need.  The 
chapter will be giving a donation too!  If you are unable to come to the get-together and would 
like to help out Traci and her family just send you donation to us and we will be sure that it is 
included with our gifts.  Our address is PO Box  622 Randolph, NE  68771.
     Don’t forget our other Thanksgiving Project too.  Please bring an item for a Woman’s Shelter or
a Food Bank. Some items could include paper napkins, toilet paper, Kleenex, feminine hygiene 
products, soap and laundry supplies or canned goods.  Please give the items to Denise Stevens 
as she is spearheading this project.

Have a Happy and safe Thanksging

There is great news on the National level. Wing Ding is going to be closer again!
It will be in Tulsa, OK July 2-5, 2009.

     Our 2nd chance drawing is nearing the end of the year.  As I did last year our
final ticket sales for the year will be at the November gathering.  I will then 
compile all the monies and have these amounts ready for the December gathering 
where the lucky numbers drawn will receive the $$$$$$$$$.  So if you have not 
purchased any tickets and you wish to do so see me at the November gathering.  
We will then start all over for the next year by selling 2nd
chance tickets at the December gathering.
