State Rally Committee Preparing for 2010 Event

Nancy Neitzel-Santee
Nov 1, 2009

Here it is only a few months after the Summer Hummer, and already they are calling for snow, to think just a few short months ago we were enjoying our State Rally…

Now it is time to start plans for the next ABATE Summer Hummer Rally. This Rally has been getting bigger every year, and with out all the many volunteers it would not be a success. We understand that many of the members out there have some great skills and ideas that would assist in making this event even bigger and better, and we would like to here from you.

With that in mind we have restructured the Summer Hummer committee into ten sub-committees. Each subcommittee will handle a area/subject of the Hummer Rally, the sub-committee’s will discuss, meet, email, communicate whatever way possible, and listen to ideas for their area, then come up with a complete recommendation for their area of the event. Then the head of the sub-committee will present their recommendations to the Summer Hummer Rally co-chairs and sub-committee heads at their monthly meeting prior to the Board of Directors meeting.

If YOU have skills, talents, ideas, suggestions, or would just like to be involved in an certain area of the event…please email/contact the Head of the following sub-committees to let them know you would like to be involved, and are willing to help out with that sub-committees job, and responsibilities at the Rally.

Summer Hummer State Rally, June 18-21 2009. A 25 Year Tradition!

Matt Graettinger
June 1, 2009

This is a historic year for ABATE of WI, celebrating 35 years this October, our 25th State Rally in a few weeks, and the 5th year of the Rally at our home, ABATE Acres. There are always a lot of last minute details to attend to, so I will be short and sweet this time around. I know that regular readers of this newsletter have been following the planning stages of the Summer Hummer State Rally since last winter. Let me just say that the bulk of the process is done, and all that really remains is the final set-up which will take place in the 3 or 4 days before the gates open. Many of the members come a few days early and assist with these last minute tasks, but equally important are those members who can stay a day or two after the Rally to help tear-down and make the grounds look as pristine as they were only a week ago.
