Meetings: Shawano meetings 1st Saturday of the month at 1 pm.

See text for locations.

Langlade meetings also listed in text.

 

Our Shawano meeting was held at Remi’s Reel ‘em Inn (Cecil) on Saturday Dec 6. We had 12 members in attendance. The meeting started with the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a Moment of Silence for those in harm’s way.  Langlade cancelled their meeting on Dec 13 at On The Rocks in (Antigo) due to the cold. We will reschedule having a meeting there.

 

Pauline presented the Treasurer’s Report asking again for a volunteer for the treasury position (and secretary position). We did not send an overage to the state in November. We held a 50/50 and I won! We sold a few more State Raffle tickets and the tickets were sent back with Dawn.

 

We held a Cookie Raffle right after our meeting. Thanks everyone for bringing in the great assortment of cookies: chocolate chip, pecan fingers, decorated cut-out and lemon bars to name a few. We made $430 from the awesome members and customers at Remi’s.

 

For Legislation, we reviewed that the President “rolled back“ the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards (emission) to a more achievable level. This is a good thing for motorcyclists and car owners as manufacturers will focus now on making great products rather than work to an unachievable goal.

 

Reminder: Lobby Day is Tuesday, February 17. Watch for changes in the bus schedule-there is no Green Bay stop.

 

Sue continues to train driving students in Antigo. So far 225 students have been trained. Sue and Robin were in the Antigo Christmas parade on December 3 representing ABATE of Wisconsin. Thank you. Sounds like fun.

 

On January 30 at 1:30 pm is the next court date for Kaitlyn Cress (who crossed the centerline on Cty Hwy R in July, 2024).

 

SAFETY: We reviewed the yearly fatalities: 2025/93 2024/100. The safety topic was to ride your own ride. Even in winter! Know your limits driving on roads with ice.

 

Robin is coordinating a Walking Meat Raffle on January 10, 2026, starting at Boettcher’s Bar in Antigo and continuing to Kastaway’s, Taphouse, Animal’s and ending at Beer 30. The raffle starts after a brief meeting. Meat purchased from Charlies County Market.

 

We will be talking about the Region 3C’s 2025 year end summary and review 2026 events at the January meeting. Because we do not have a treasurer or a secretary, it is possible that we will have limited events. Come and help decide.

 

I made contact with Bruce Prellwicz at the Bethany Nursing Home in Waupaca. His address: 125 Berlin St #104, Waupaca, WI. 54981. He would love to receive a card from you.

 

Thank you, Bob and Pam, at Remis Reel ‘em Inn for your hospitality and supporting ABATE of Wisconsin!
