Hi Everyone,

I will not be able to be at tomorrow’s meeting but Cindy has a lot to go over with you.

Just a reminder the Red Cross needs help in making appointments for the October 11th Blood Drive. I have offered an additional $10 biker bucks for each appointment made to those who can spare sometime after the meeting to make calls. Hospitals are in such need of blood that you calling and making that appointment could save the life of so many. So thank you!!

Hope to see a lot of you on the 8th for the Dinner Ride even if by car. I will blast out location on Monday!!

Kathi L. Yergin


Thursday 10/02/2014

Hi All,

Please see below the letter from Tom at the Red Cross. They are looking for help in calling people to make appointments to donate blood on the 11th. If you are available after the meeting on Saturday to call 10-20 people it would truly be appreciated. You can see Cindy at the meeting and she will give you the information.

This is well worth Biker Bucks. And another benefit would be an additional 10 biker bucks for each person you make an appointment with.

Please, please just an hour or two after Saturdays meeting would be greatly appreciated.

Kathi

For those who signed up for the Progressive Dinner, here is an update to all. There has been a lot of talk about the road/drive way being unsafe or no parking at our destination for dinner. Today six of us took a ride out to the camp and all I can say is what a beautiful ride it was getting there and the drive way was FINE, if you drove to sky hy last year that road was a harder ride up. The way everyone had been talking we were all looking for the worse, we were totally surprised how beautiful the place is. There is plenty of parking and potential for more parking across the street at a neighbors.

Our visit today was shared with a beautiful moose just standing there in the water eating. I only hope they come back next week and enjoy the dinner with us. Sitting there and just watching her was totally AWESOME and surreal.

Below is the menu for the day; we are going to have a wonderful time. Looking forward to seeing you if you have signed up to go.

Breakfast

French Toast, Bacon, Sausage, Fruit, Coffee, OJ, Milk

Lunch

Chicken, Steak, corn on the cob, potato salad, macaroni salad, salad, Ice Tea & Water.

Gifford’s Ice Cream on the Way Home.

I think you got your money’s worth in this day!!!

Update on Vermont Overnight Motorcycle Trip on Friday, July 18th thru 20th !!!

You don’t want to be left out …….. Mark your calendars and make your reservations now for this overnight ride taking place next month.

The ride will be led by our Road Captains Dennis Rogers and Lorrie Fernald. It is called “A Freedom Ride” because everyone is free to do as they wish once we arrive at the Hotel in Barre, VT. The weekend has an agenda of a ride taking place on Saturday but it is not mandatory that everyone join the ride if they do not chose to do so. There are many attractions in the area that are also available to take part in if you prefer to rather than join the scheduled ride. A few of them would be: Ben & Jerry’s Factory Tour, Cabot Annex Store, Maple Sugarhouse, Vermont Teddy Bear Shop, etc. It would be nice to have everyone join in the ride on Saturday, but feel free to enjoy the day of your choosing.

Reservations do need to be made asap if you are thinking about doing this ride. The hotel we will be staying at is called the Hilltop Inn in Barre, VT. The telephone number is 802-229-5766. Cost of the rooms is still being negotiated but should be in the area of $80.

Since the last meeting, a lot of interest has generated and inquiries made about getting rooms. The following are people who showed interest in going on the trip so rooms have been set aside for them: Henry and Anita Maheux; Tony and Sandra Bruno; Stewart and Ellen Harrington; Walter Tarbox; Ron Biladeau; Steve Bell; Scott and Christine Prescott; Rita Moffit; Jerry and Kathi Yergin and of course the leaders, Dennis and Cindy Rogers and Lorrie and David Fernald. For this group only ……. When you call to confirm your reservation, tell the receptionist that your reservation is under Cindy Rogers name but would like to confirm now with your credit/debit card. She has a list of your names. Your card will not be charged until the day of arrival but needs to be changed from Cindy’s card to your card number soon in order to hold the rooms. We tried to get the rooms in the same wing of the hotel (on the second floor — sorry no elevator). There is a 48 hours cancellation policy if something unexpectedly comes up and you are unfortunate not to be able to join us on the trip.

This ride is open to the Chapter and their guests and we don’t want to leave anyone out that wants to go. We are hoping the group will continue to grow as the road trip gets closer. More the merrier !!! If you are not included in the small group noted above and would like to join the ride, please make your reservations soon so you are guaranteed a room. When you make the call, please tell the receptionist that you are with the group under Cindy Rogers in order to get the same room rate as everyone else.

*** Please text 207-841-9066 or email Lorrie (thesizzleshack@yahoo.com) once your reservation has been made so we have a good idea of how many people will be going on the ride. ***

I have attached the agenda for the trip so everyone has an idea of what a great trip it will be. Dennis and Lorrie have made the pre-trip and it is a beautiful ride especially by the Lake. Don’t forget your helmets for riding through VT and NY. We will be driving by the entrance to the Canadian Border but will not be entering it (so no Passport will be needed). If you do choose to enter Canada — don’t forget your Passport).

If you have any questions regarding the ride, please feel free to contact either Dennis or Lorrie.

*** One more thing …. If anyone cannot make the ride on Friday but would like to meet up with us at the hotel that would be perfectly ok. We know some people have to work on Friday but would like to join the ride on Saturday and Sunday. We just ask that either Dennis or Lorrie is notified in advance of your coming and when. Appreciate it. ***

Keep your fingers crossed for good weather …… Safe travels to all.

On another note our members Janis & Scott Tanguay’s son Jay is over in Afghanistan on tour for a year. Supplies are low and it would be wonderful if we could send his troop a box of goodies. I will have a box if you would like to donate to it. They would love candy, pop tarts, peanuts, trail mix, anything that would feel like home. If you have any DVD’s lying around that you do not need they would love some movies to watch. This will also get biker buck credit.

Just to remind you the cut off date for pre registration for the ME State Rally is May 8th. If you have not registered check out the website at www.mestatehogrally.com and come for the weekend. It’s a lot of fun and if you have any questions please ask myself or Cindy.

Good Evening,

Just a few reminders. This coming saturday is our Silent Auction and In Store Poker Walk. Thank you to those who signed up to volunteer or have donated items for the auction. If you could be there at 9:00am and see Jesse that would be great.

If you have any items to still donate for the auction, please bring them in. We could really use more!!! See Cindy in the HOG’s den on saturday morning with your items. All items are worth biker bucks.

There will also be a bake sale that day, so if you would like to bake something and donate it, thank you. Again, bring all items to Cindy and receive biker bucks.

Have you registered for the ME State Rally? It will be held in OOB this year and it would be great to get members together during the rally. Go on to the website at www.mestatehogrally.com. If you have never been, I promise you will have a good time. Last day to pre register is May 8th.

If you plan on attending our “Kick off the Season” ride on Saturday, April 26th, you must RSVP to me no later than Sunday, April 13th. That will be the cut off date. Sorry but no one will be able to go after that date. If it rains don’t worry we will still meet up at a destination to be announced.

The success of the auction is with all items that we can get donated. It does not need to be Harley related. The auction will be held on Saturday, April 12th with a poker walk and volunteers will be needed for the poker walk. So if you are interested in volunteering let me know and I will pass your name on to Jesse.

Also, for you woman out there. Madeline Campbell will be offering information of Facial/Skin Care from Seacret after our meeting in April. So make time to stay and see her presentation.

Happy Monday All,

Can you believe our Holiday Party is coming up this Saturday evening the 25th? If you have purchased your tickets we are looking for each person to bring an appetizer dish to share. Prospect Hill is allowing us to bring our own to save on the price, which is so nice of them. So if you can bring something THANK YOU!! The address to Prospect Hill is 694 South Main Street, Auburn.

Thank you to everyone who donated their time to help out at the Blood Drive. We were able to get 131 useable pints which can save the lives of 393 people. What a great success!!.

Our next Chapter meeting is Saturday, February 1st.

I am looking for members who are willing to make a soup, or dish for lunch at L-A Harley on February 1st, February 8th, and February 22nd. If you are able to help please email me. I can also get others to serve if you are not able to stay that day. Please those who raised their hands to help at the meeting, please help out just one saturday. To those who have made a meal THANK YOU!!!!

If you have any concerns or questions on this, PLEASE do not hesitate to contact me.

Good Morning Everyone,

Sure is a wet one out there this morning. It was a fairly nice weekend so I know some of you are still getting in your last minute riding. Stay safe out there.

Just a reminder if you signed up to help with the Poker Run on Friday night at L-A Harley, please try to be there by 3:30pm and see Jesse to get your stations. It will run from 4:00pm to 9:00pm.

I am looking for two people to help serve on Saturday at L-A. If you are able to help can you email me at kril62@aol.com. Do not reply to this email as I am not receiving them. Please understand showing up on a Saturday does not give you points on Biker Bucks. You must let me know ahead of time. But on another note thank you, thank you, thank you to Marcel, Frank, and Walter for setting up on Saturday so I could be off after dropping off the food. And Henry who tried emailing me and did not get me. And Duane for stopping by to clean up.

So I need to know a few days prior if you will be helping out. I sure do not want five or six people showing up and not enough or busy at all for you. So please try my other email kril62@aol.com, or call 577-8896. Leave a message I will get it.

I have Greg so far volunteering for Saturday, let me know if you can serve. Thank you everyone!!
