Hello everyone! Chapter Directors Corner I know this newsletter is a little late, sorry about that, but Cindy and I have been out doing what we enjoy. We've been out riding our Trike! We left on the 17th for our Annual Butt Buster trip, and when it was over we headed out to the Washington Coast for the eclipse, we saw nothing because of the morning fog. Then north to Forks, WA for a couple of days, we did not run into any werewolves or vampires, but we did see Bella s truck. Continuing on to Port Townsend and ferrying across to Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island. We stayed in a VFW Campground. We kept going to Sumas WA, then entered Canada and spent a couple of days in Hope BC. We visited Hells Gate on the Fraser River. We went to Osoyoos BC and spent a couple of days. While we were there, we went to the Leesure Lite factory so they could make some repairs to my trailer, then back into the USA and Lake Chelan. Finally from Goldendale WA to home. Rode 1585 miles, and my odometer turned 190,000 miles on my 1990 Goldwing! It was a great trip with our close friends Richard & Pat Priest. If you are wondering why you are receiving a newsletter this month, it is because the District asked Cindy and I to stay on as your Chapter Directors. We agreed to remain until the end of the year. I will continue to do the newsletter until then. There were four options presented at our last gathering by the District & Region staff. Those options included, continuing until December 31st; disbanding the chapter immediately; merging the chapter with Chapter G; or putting the chapter on a hiatus until the end of the year when it would officially close down. Cindy and I do not want to see the chapter shut down, so that is why we are staying on. Hopefully someone will step up by the end of the year. We will be attending the End of Season Campout this month, and would love to see more of our members participate. Please review the flyers in this newsletter and register. Till next month! Ride safe and keep the rubberside down! Alan & Cindy
Hi guys & gals. Oregon District End of Season Campout September 22-24, 2017 Hat Rock Campground Hermiston, Oregon The Campout will be at Hat Rock Camp Ground. Here is what we will be doing, we will have Friday night chili & brats, Saturday morning we will cook breakfast of Eggs, Biscuits & Gravy and Sausage, Saturday night BBQ burgers, Hot Dogs with baked beans and some salads. Dessert will be whatever anyone wants to bring. The cost for campout is nothing, but it will be $5.00 per meal. We will be having a Chapter poker run on Saturday, this will be our only fundraiser for the year. I have reserved 10 camp sites, there are more sites as needed. the sites are big, we can put 2 or 3 tents or tent trailers or an RV and tent trailer. The sites I have reserved are under Goldwing and / or Oregon H. This is going to be a simple laid back campout so come relax and enjoy. Attached is a price sheet from Hat Rock. Anyone that wants to camp contact me for a campsite. You will pay Hat Rock when you check in. Any sites that aren't spoken for by Sept 15, will be canceled so we don't have to pay for them. I will make a registration form so we can get an idea of how many are coming. No one will need to send any money with there registration. They can buy meal tickets at the campout. We are open to any ideas and thoughts to help make this fun and enjoyable.
