Congratulations to each.
It was suggested that we "Pass the hat" for the Chapter
to donate to the Wounded Warrior Program, as was announced at the
Rally last month in Lynden.
Chet brought up the accident that our Montana friend, Joy, had while
traveling home to Montana last month, breaking her ankle.
Suggested again "passing the hat" as a gesture of goodwill,
then enclosing with a thank you note to the Volunteer Fire
Department in Wisdom, MT who transported her over an hour one way to the
hospital.

VanKirk will be sending out more information: Or call him at 354-5881- thevankirks@yahoo.com
Motorcycle Awareness: Ron Robertson announced
that we had a display during the Haggen's Show 'n Shine
on August 1st. Many people picked up brochures and stickers
that were available on our Display table.
Ron thanked all who helped setting up and then distributing the Thank you
cards and taking the letters down after the Walk About during the
District Rally last month. Was a big job, and he appreciated all the
help.
(Note: Ron, we thank you for all the time involved in doing this
again this year. K.R.)

Here it is August and up till this week the weather has been very good for riding except on tough 90 degree + days even on a water-cooled Gold Wing it was to hot!!!!!
I think everyone who attended the rally in
Lynden had a good time, as there was a lot of food and friends. I know
that Judy and I got to visit with some friends we had not seen for a
long time. Then came the Montana District Rally in which Ron,Betty and
Ray Hunter took part. I understand that they had a good trip.
On August 1, Chet and Kathy Renskers, Cliff
Kamm, Ron Robertson, Larry Peters and myself participated in the Show
and Shine that was held at the Haggen Meridian St. Store and was
sponsored by Haggen. A $10 donation per bike went to the store managers
charity, which is Hospice. There was also hot dogs with a drink for
$1.00 by donation, which also went to Hospice. Chet and Kathy won a
trophy for their bike and trailer although it said cruiser trophy. There
will be a Touring Trophy next year if he knows that there will be
participation from Touring groups.
On another subject Chapter H has
come along ways in the last three years and it is my hope that it will
continue to grow, there is a lot of Gold Wings out there along with a
lot of other brands that can also belong to our association.
Something I would like to bring up
is Family Membership in the association. Even though Individual
membership is $45.00, a family membership is only $10.00 more to have
the whole family involved with the association. You ask why should I
sign up for a family membership? Well it is like this, when you go to a
GWRRA runs and rally's it can cost you anywhere from $5.00 to
$10.00 more to sign up as non GWRRA, especially when they ask to see
your membership cards. Also with membership in GWRRA your family member
might just be eligible to pick up a trophy like Randi Reid did at our
District Rally for youngest female rider. It might be a trophy for long
distance,oldest, or even make the difference whether the chapter would
receive a largest chapter either by sheer number or percentage.
Also they can call Rescue Towing and Emergency Roadside Assistance if
they are a member. Family members are entitled to wear the official
GWRRA patches and pins of the association and also take advantage of all
the GWRRA member Benefits and Discount Programs. GWRRA is a family
organization and we pride our self on that concept. Garry Calman
