17 June 09 Chapter Gathering
Write-up by Susan Ochs Pictures by Tom Byrd
The monthly gathering was well attended 24 members. We had no guests at this months meeting. The meeting was conducted by Steve Ochs, in the absence of Brad Severe, who was recovering from dental surgery the day prior. Court Van Sickler presented Steve and Susan Ochs with their Level IV patches. We heard from Duke Thompson in regards to the Couple of the Year events. Dave Weaver, our MED was not at the meeting but we discussed recruiting and new members that have attended recent events. Archie and Sharon Haley, our Community Service Coodinators were not at the meeting but we discussed the section of road that we have obtained thru Texas Dept of Transportation and held a short safety meeting. We have obtained the two mile section of FM 1518 from I35 toward FM 78. We also discussed the rally and briefly talked about the events at our rally coordination meeting. Jack Dowda and Linda Brackeen discussed the Friday night rides and stated that it is still being well attended. Door prizes and attendance drawings were given away at the end of the meeting.
Chapter U is a great group of folks!
