Greetings Region 3A! We held our monthly meeting on November 2nd, at the Windmill. The meeting started things off with the Pledge, MOS and welcoming of members/guests. In Communications, the next three meetings are on 12/07/25, 01/04/26, & 02/01/26. It is with regret that we announce the passing of Patrick Thomas Murphy on November 16, 2025. His absence will be felt at our monthly meetings and on our yearly bus trip to Madison for Lobby Day, where he always brought laughter and smiles to everyone. Ride in Peace Murph!

In Legislative, plan accordingly, the date has been set for our annual Biker Lobby Day in Madison as Tuesday February 17th, 2026. The bus schedule has changed, and the Green Bay stop is no longer available. Check the newsletter and this report for updates as the date approaches. Updates were given about the vetoing of the Fuel Choice Legislation Bill. We are still actively working on the Right to Repair bill SB129/AB135. As we get closer to our Annual Lobby Day, look to the Legislative article for further info and updates on this year’s agenda. Another reminder, it's essential that we improve our efforts to act on our Call to Actions. Going forward, we must ensure we make the necessary calls and send emails and letters to our legislators regarding the bills and legislation we're focused on. Occasionally, we have only a brief window to take action, so prompt follow-up is crucial.
