From The Trustees Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you & your families that are having medical problems or have lost loved ones. Del Austin let us know that Jack Ellis a Long time Canadian member of the Dresser Association has passed away at 90 years of age, on March 15. Jack his wife Fran and their son John were our first Canadian members. John and the Ellis s and I met in a parking lot back in the late 70's. I talked to them about the Harley Dresser Association. The three of them have traveled this great country to many of our rallies, and sponsored the Kingston Ontario rally, our first International rally. Please keep Jack, Fran, John and Scott in your prayers. We wish Jack fair skies & flowing winds. Stuff from Jan & Eileen As a reminder to those that have not paid yet, dues are $35 yearly. You can send them to 1549 Cherry Brook Drive, Dandridge, TN 37725. If you are not sure if you owe dues just email or call and we will let you know. You can sign up for the Rally now, read the info carefully. You can also sign up for the Christmas party now, we have a new venue, so check that out carefully too. The hotels are getting tougher on head counts, they want the numbers earlier and they are sticking to the number we give them. So look at the cut off dates on the sign up sheets. If we give a number we can t change it once it s past the cut off date. You can pay everything with one check. We do our banking by mail, so that is why you do not get your posted check back right away. If anyone takes a trip anywhere we would like to hear about it. There is only so much Joe can write about.
