Region 8A/8C
We held our May meeting on May 3rd at 1 pm. We had the meeting all the way up in Gays Mills at Dantes Bar and Grill. It was a beautiful day for a ride, but it was a bit windy. We were happy to see everyone who came! Not much was discussed at this meeting.
Since we didn't have a huge turnout for the May meeting, we were not able to discuss anything on Bikers Stuffing Stockings. We really need to get the ball rolling on this fundraiser if it's something we still want to do. People need to step up to help this year. For Bikers Stuffing Stockings we need to start discussing whether we are going to continue doing the live auction for this fundraiser, or if we want to switch to a different type of fundraiser. One that was brought up was a gun/meat bundle bingo, to help raise money for local struggling families in the community. Some members of the region attended a few in the area and said these events had a great turnout from the community. A few people we had talked to at these events had also stated that people in the community have been asking for more bingo events for them to attend. A gun/meat bundle bingo could be the fundraiser to be able to pull more people from our community to help support our cause to help local families and learn more about ABATE. If anyone has any other ideas, please bring them to the next meeting in June!!
Summer Hummer is June 25th-28th. Eric and Kaitlyn have the advance Summer Hummer tickets, please see him at the next meeting for them if you are interested in purchasing them.
