Thanks again to Al & Glenna Wagner for the great job they did for the chapter with the newsletter. Bianca is hoping she can so half of what they did. With the many changes within GWRRA our newsletter is a short this month. Hopefully after Winter Rendezvous the staff will have a better idea on what else we need to have for you. Speaking of Winter Rendezvous, it is in our back yard and with the day passes, hopefully several of you will be able to attend. The schedule is full of fun & interesting things to do. Bianca is looking forward to seeing old friends and meet some new. The Chapter is still in need of an Assistant Chapter Director, if you are interested, please call Ronnie. Ronnie is recovering in Florida, we are hoping that by March he has improved enough to start riding again.

2 Restructure FAQ s from Rita Alkire This was copied from the GWRRA Web Site the Officers Connection Rider Ed The programs, i.e. the levels program, IS NOT going away. The administration will be handled at the District level. Ride Coordinator This position is being added to answer the request from MANY Members who would like to see us ride more. It is also a way to engage Members of GWRRA who do not want to participate in Chapter life or cannot participate possibly due to distance. This is a critical and vital role to help GWRRA meet the expectations of our Members. Riders may only show a few times, that that is more than what we have now. This position is and Officer position under Rider Education. They are NOT a Chapter or District Educator. They are not there, at the Chapter level, to promote or push the levels program. They are more of a safety Officer to share with us safety tips; encourage discussion on safety topics; show us the way; talk the safety talk way and encourage us to adopt some or all of the safe riding techniques of our Association. Chapter Safety should be everyone's responsibility. Think of some fun ideas to engage our Members and then share them at the beginning of rides or at the Chapter Gathering. Focus on fun, adventurous rides and start with some sharing of safety tips and a good ride meeting. Bring a TCLOC to the beginning of a ride and then do it on your bike and have those with you do it on theirs. Ask questions, the group can help with answers and help. At the gathering you can share some new safety item they have found and like or they can lead a discussion. Or share something about some new gear. The key is the gathering should be informal, fun, relaxed and missing the formerly thought of "required" safety talks. Encourage discussion and sharing among your Members to engage them in safe riding thinking and practices. Let's have fun and keep it light and encourage our riders toward safer practices.
