HOG Chapter 1 - Last Meeting of 2011



So this morning I got up and proceeded with my Saturday morning routine and realized that today was our monthly Chapter meeting.  Today was the day of Officer Elections, I was running for Photographer.

My husband decided he wanted to ride to the meeting and I decided to drive to the meeting, it was a little too cold for me and I am done for the riding season.  I don't do cold to well even getting in and out of the car.  We finished getting ready to go and I headed out first, I had to fill up the car with gas as I was on empty.  My husband met me at the gas station and waited for me to finish up.  With the tank on full we headed over to the Harley Dealer.

We arrived at the dealer with time to spare.  I had invited a friend I work with and her husband to the meeting, Lenora and her husband Gerald ride a trike and were interested in joining after seeing all my pictures and reading my blog.  They arrived and I greeted them with open arms as did many of the other members of the group.  They decided to come back in January to sign up and join for the 2012 season.  I think they had fun today!  I was glad to see Lenora and Gerald make it out today.

The meeting got underway and then it came time for the elections.  I was excited, however, got nervous when they said we needed to give a little thirty second speech, man I am not a public speaker but found the words to say when I got up there.  Several people said I didn't meet the height requirement, ha ha....very funny, if you all have never seen me I am only 4'8" so I am short....This is an awesome group and we have had a fantastic summer and we are very much looking forward to 2012.

As it came time for the Photographer position, there were two of us running, Bruce and I.  I said my little speech and Bruce said his, then a member of the group made the motion for the two of us to be Co-Photographers!  WOW...that was unexpected but a good idea because we both have different photography styles and I feel that this will be a great adventure for the both of us.  We were both elected and are looking forward to working with everyone in 2012.

We are all gonna miss Ken our director for 2011, he was awesome from the short time I have known him, I can see he is a great man, speaker, and motivator.  He was one of the reason why we decided to join after a couple of meetings, along with all the great members everyone made it an easy decision for us both.  Congrats to all the Officers for 2012 and I am looking forward to working with them all.

Tonight is our HOG Chapter Christmas Party and I will be off soon getting ready to head back out for the evening events. Can't wait for the fellowship with great friends, fun, games, contests, great times and of course above all the great FOOD.......I am getting hungry just thinking about it!





I will be writing and posting pictures of the party sometime tomorrow.  Have an awesome day!

Stay tuned for more great adventures!
