We will be riding to the Rochester MN. Veterans Memorial on Sunday July 11th this is a open free ride so bring a friend we will meet at the Casey’s Station in Riceville at 9:30 AM departing at 10:00 AM and stopping at Lime Springs Truck Stop to meet up with more riders at 10:30 AM departing from there at 10:45 AM if you haven’t seen the memorial it is worth the trip, it is one of the nicest one I have seen and I have seen a lot of them. The MIAP ride for the cause was on June 26th and we had a good turn out for a rain date. The Teddy Bear Ride has been set on July 31st we have the flyer out, we will sign in at The Blue Bird Tavern in Elma sign in at 10:00 AM and departing at 10:30. We need door prizes for the upcoming rides, if you have any or want to go out and get some turn them in to Road Capt. Dale. We have asked that any cash donations you get be used for the Teddy Bear Ride as we are in good shape for our other charities and the need is great if the Teddy Bear Project is to succeed state wide, I know you will all want to help. We have purchased an industrial sewing machine and will be able to sew patches on heaver leather then I could with my old one however we will be charging a small fee to sew them on (just to help pay for the machine and thread) no patch will be over $5.00 most will be $2 or $3 for non club patches, the cost for club patches has gone up so the full set of 6 patches is now $67.50 and $2.50 to sew them on. President Gene has asked for members to reply to emails about rides & events as to if you will or will not be attending so we will be able to make better plans, if you are not sure if you can attend we would like to know that also, you can email or call Gene, Tina or Me.
